Plot: A film about a military guy who lost his memory and is tasked to rescue a kid in order to save the world from a major pandemic outbreak. High art it is not, and the political angles don't really add much value, but for those who care, there's quite a bit of plot to unravel.

4.5*/5.0*

A sprawling action spectacle. I'm not a big fan of South-Korean cinema, it often lacks focus and dedication, never quite pushing things as far as they should. Well, Carter breaks with that tradition. It's an action film that reminded me of Hardcore Henry. The single-take action is obviously stitched together, but the camera never stalls, the action is constant and the choreography is well over-the-top. The plot's a bit messy and not all performances are equally great, but if you're looking for an adrenaline-fueled action flick, there are few that can match the energy levels of this one. Had an absolute blast watching this.
