Description: “Carter” is a high-octane thriller blending the intense action of “Jason Bourne” and “Mission: Impossible” with Korean flair. The film, set two months into a deadly pandemic originating from the Korean DMZ, follows Agent Carter, who awakens with no memory of his past. His head is rigged with a bomb, and a mysterious voice guides him through a dangerous mission.
The movie features gripping sequences, from brutal hand-to-hand combat to daring airplane stunts and a chase reminiscent of classic thrillers. Unique to “Carter” is its one-scene, one-cut style, similar to films like “1917” or “The Russian Ark,” presenting the action in a seamless, immersive format.
Directed by Jung Byung-gil (“The Villainess”) and starring Joo Won, “Carter” is produced by Apeitda Production and released globally on Netflix on August 5, 2022. The film is part of Netflix’s expanding Korean content library, which has gained international acclaim, notably through hits like “Squid Game.”
Despite Netflix’s history of delivering quality action films like “Extraction” and “The Night Comes For Us,” many such titles have flown under the radar. “Carter” aims to captivate audiences with its relentless pace and innovative storytelling, adding to Netflix’s repertoire of globally appealing Korean originals.
