Carter, the first major Korean movie from Netflix in the second half of 2022, is premiering worldwide on August 5, and it’s all about the titular agent who has to risk his life while figuring out who he is.
Directed by Jung Byung-gil, renowned for his adrenaline-pumping action cinematography, Carter stars Joo Won, who has established a strong presence in diverse genres of K-dramas and films.
Two months into a deadly pandemic originating from the DMZ that has devastated the US and North Korea, “Carter” awakens, with no recollections of his past. In his head is a mysterious device, and in his mouth, a lethal bomb. A strange voice in his ears gives him orders. But the CIA and a North Korean coup are hot on his heels. Thrown into a mysterious operation, “Carter” must reclaim his identity and successfully complete his mission on time in this one-scene, one-cut action film.
The teaser trailer also provides intriguing glimpses into the wall-to-wall action of the story, revealing a mysterious voice telling Carter that a lethal bomb installed in his mouth will detonate if he disobeys the command to embark on a special mission. Breathtaking sequences ensue, ranging from intense physical combat to daredevil airplane stunts.
