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. The bomb may go off at any time -- unless he rescues the girl who is the sole antidote to the virus. But the CIA and a North Korean coup are hot on his heels.

Joshua Polanski

Boston Hassle

There are some regretfully great action pieces here—the spinning helicopter fight being the best among them—but the spectacle is calculatedly capricious beyond redemption.

Carter is a dizzying movie that shows violence with well-choreographed action sequences.

Pramit Chatterjee

Digital Mafia Talkies

The film-making on display is so egregiously bad that it’s not even funny. It genuinely feels like a rough edit of the film, masquerading as the final product, has been uploaded to the streaming platform.

Rated: 1/5

Panos Kotzathanasis

Asian Movie Pulse

As mentioned before, “Carter” is one of those films that one could easily fast forward to the action scenes, while its duration is extravagant. At the same time though, the former are so impressive and so many, that it ends up being highly entertaining

Rated: 6

Samuel Leggett Jr.

JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS

This has a very interesting first person action flare, that swings & takes some very daring chances. But the transitions, editing, & heavy CG don't lend the film any chances of re-watchability because you fail to appreciate the general action and story

Rated: 5/10

Keith & the Movies

I was let down by the storytelling and tired by the end. But I can’t deny the kinetic sensation brought on by action sequences and the sheer craftsmanship behind them.

Rated: 3/5

Alex L A bit long, could have edited 20mn. Classic B movie, goofy but entertaining and laughable action scenes Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Glen A I am grading this just for the nonstop choreography. I can't imagine what it took to plan this out. If nothing else, it is fun to try to figure out where the cuts are and how in the world they got the camera to move the way it does. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Zaraki K An action packed with all action movies stunts ever made. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Scott H One of the most disappointing Korean action movies I have ever seen. This is like I am stuck in the worst third player shooter video game that truly sucks. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Ray H Forget the story, forget the plot, both were a tad off...but if you want two + hours of entertaining action scenes you won't forget, it's worth the time. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Dick C Its shootings are marvelous... Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
