Netflix Drops a New Action Thriller That Feels Like A Mix of Jason Bourne, Mission: Impossible, and Korean Street‑Style Cool
Just when you thought the streaming wars were getting more casual, Netflix drops Carter, an adrenaline‑packed film that throws you straight into the middle of a deadly pandemic sparked by a tense showdown at the Korean Demilitarised Zone.
Plot in a Nutshell
Two months into a pandemic that’s already wreaked havoc in the U.S. and North Korea, our mysterious hero Agent Carter wakes up with no memory of his past. His skull feels like a ticking bomb (don’t ask how that works—Hollywood magic), and a shadowy voice gives him a critical mission: find a girl who might hold the only cure.
Meanwhile, the CIA is hot on his heels, and a North Korean coup is brewing. It’s a race against time, enemies, and a virus that won’t wait.
Why the Trailer Made Us Fidget
- Heart‑pounding hand‑to‑hand fights that leave you wondering if you’re at a martial arts class or a movie set.
- A wild countryside chase that looks like it was filmed on an actual farm (with Legally Green Acres vibes).
- Daredevil airplane stunts that show Joo Won—who plays the titular Agent—riding the edge of a plane’s wing.
Joo Won proves that the leading man can double as a stunt double, making this film feel like a cinematic rollercoaster with a serious dose of thriller.
Director & Sheet Calendar
The high‑stakes action is guided by seasoned director Jung Byung‑Gil, known for The Villainess and Confessions of a Murder. Carter hits Netflix on August 5, 2022.
So grab your popcorn, buckle up, and get ready for a gut‑watering preview of the future of action-thrillers—because when a virus is rampant, you’re not just watching; you’re part of the chase.
