When two commandos aboard a train to reconnect with a loved one, never in their lifetime did they ever imagine they would have to put their skills to the test to protect themselves and others from thieves and killers, this film starts out rather mild, romantic and quite likeable, especially the lead actor and his female co-star. Once the film progresses, the tempo slowly turns tense, once we witness the bad guys, so we soon learn very quickly their intentions, this movie takes the viewer into various episodes of extreme bloodshed and breathtaking violence, as the film moves forward, we get to watch the hero virtually loses his mind and goes on quest to wipe-out everybody who caused him grief and anguish, the director did a good job with the fight choreography and projecting the madness of the commando and the doubt and fear of the villains, I will not further divulge any more information, if this film is available to watch and you are immune to graphic violence then this is your jam, the last film I watch like this was the night come for us and that was very similar to this one minus the martial arts, best action film of the year in my opinion, Monkey man in second place.

The film is an action lover's dream. Filled with spectacular gun battles and chase scenes also the magnificent presence of Donnie Yen doing what he does best, overall continuation of the story from episode 3, this film is mostly one man's journey in getting revenge for disturbing his once peaceful existence, his previous life as Hitman or corporate assassin was only a memory until they killed the last living thing he cared about, the they as in his previous employer is now who he is on a mission to destroy completely, while the film is lacking in storytelling, it excels in giving the viewer a very colorful and highly stylized set pieces across several countries, which was quite impressive in my opinion, I also liked the kudo's to the film the Warriors for a particular reference to the DJ and the grandiose finale that had a taste of Sergio Leone spaghetti western sprinkled in for good measure, if there is any time to go back to the theater, well this is the movie to watch, if you are an action film lover, you will not be disappointed with this film.

I thought we would never see the beast cop again after the Outlaws, and this cop is still giving criminals beat downs even worse than first film, the movie had a lot of good comedic moments as well as exciting fight scenes, I am a huge fan of Don Lee, I thought Unstoppable was another good action film he starred in, he continues to get better with each film, the Roundup didn't need fancy special effects or gadgets to entertain an audience, this was that throwback action cop flick, that's filled with excitement and laughs. I hope we see cop Ma again in the future, criminals take note, this dude is handing out a** whooping of various types, thumbs up, one of the better action films this year.
