Netflix’s seige on the Korean content market continues and after a spate of hit Korean tv dramas productions, they go back to feature film with ”Carter”. Netflix’s first Korean feature production since ”Okja”, the action film ”Carter is helmed by “The Villainess” director Jung Byung-gil.
Synopsis
An action blockbuster about the breathtaking pursuit of Agent Carter in a mysterious operation with all his memories lost.
When a man wakes up, he doesn’t remember anything about himself or even his name. At that time, he receives a phone call and the caller tells him “Your name is Carter.” He is then enlisted in an importation, dangerous mission without knowing the reason why.
Jung Byung-gil proved his action film mettle with “The Villainess”, which impressed if not with its storytelling then most certainly with its execution of the action sequences. Like that feature, where he turned the unlikely Kim Ok-bin into a legitimate action star, he attempts something similar here with Joo Won, an actor known mostly for his romantic tv drama roles. Joining Joo Won is Lee Sung-jae, another familiar face in K-Drama Land, whose last film appearance was in the 2010 erotic thriller “Natalie”. “Carter” has been confirmed for an August 5th release date worldwide on Netflix.
