Sheila Jan 24 2025 8:17 pm I’m indifferent about this movie, more disappointed really. I think the cinematography was horrible. The Korean actors were great.

Ginger Aug 15 2024 9:14 am It's fun to enjoy, and it's fine unlike what people say. For an action lover like me, it's a great film.

Kaito Jul 08 2024 3:14 am This movie was meh, interesting camera work but i personally don't like this style for action. I see why they used it though. Just like with multiple fast cuts used in some action films, this style of erratic movement of camera seems to have been used to hide bad fight choreo. In the yakuza public bath fight, it's so hilariously obvious that the opponents are waiting for their turn, stabbing air, pretending to miss. If they used a steadier cam, it would look much more obvious so they hid it with erratic camera zooms and tracking. Joo Won's acting is this movie's only saving grace. The plot is messy and confusing, the dialogue—especially the english lines—is cringe, the fight scenes look simulated like they're obviously choreographed with opponents waiting for their turns, the American actors are wasted with bad characterization and bad writing. I know Camilla Belle and Mike Colter are great in other projects but they're kinda bad here because their lines are cringe. Maybe it's good to watch one time to learn how to make a messy plot, how not to do action, how not to write english dialogues, or how not to do a (fake) one-take technique, I guess.

Elaine Apr 01 2024 7:24 pm I liked the way it was shot, it was fine and didn't give me a headache, what's wrong with you guys? That's called the "one-shot" technique

9/10

min May 18 2023 7:48 pm Actually an interesting movie to watch, but the mass killing scene is way to unrealistic, in a way that I cannot tolerate even if it for fiction.

I cannot agree more with everyone regarding the camera work, it soooo painful to watch, I only able to survive for 15 min. The camera work maybe suitable for PC gamers, but it cannot be acceptable for drama lovers who like to watch quietly.

Mings Feb 23 2023 11:10 am I watch this movie because I'm a fan of Joo Won. I dont put any expectation on the storyline because I want to watch Joo Won. The moment Joo Won knew he is Carter, my expectation grew up and I just can't wait to watch till the end.

But, the action scene is too much and it just doesnt make sense (referring to plane scene). Can you imagine all this action moves happen in one day? I just fastforward the whole movie to know the character and the real memory of Carter.

Of course a movie is not the reality, but we need logic. But before that, shout out to my fav actor. Joo Won's acting is good and his physical is totally perfect for this role.

Conclusion: I won't rewatch this movie. Such a waste of time. Director-nim and writer-nim, do better for your next project.

Karen Jan 27 2023 10:23 am this movie was garbage omg. Took me days to watch it and i still couldnt really finish it

Tats Jan 09 2023 11:05 pm It's been 40 minutes into the movie and I can't watch it anymore. The camera's movement was exaggerated to the point it makes me dizzy. Too much action and too little story, The vibes were off and overall just confusing. Thanks for the booty shots tho.

Tats Jan 09 2023 10:22 pm Never knew I'd see these many butt cheeks in my whole life but here we are.

Smile Nov 13 2022 12:43 am Carter is one of the best Korean action movies of all time. Powerful character & thematic storytelling and so efficient with its action & time. 10/10

lrt Nov 10 2022 3:24 pm Joo Won buffed like you've never seen him and to perfection. Carter is short on words and long on action. The spa scene went beyond The K2 shower fight but for me added nothing but shock value to see him like that in his thong!!

night_wng Oct 13 2022 1:01 am I’d compare this with Arnold’s Commando flick. Not only does the hero kill everyone, but he never gets more than a minor scratch. Throw in the fact, that every law of physics is absolutely ignored, and it becomes 1/2 as believable as Arnold’s. The only enjoyable parts, are the pacing & the action scenes. Even being unbelievable, they do things I haven’t seen b4, which is refreshing.

Fernanda Kimbeanly Darina Sep 10 2022 12:51 am Carter. Okay that was pretty epic! A movie that made me feel like completed a full video game. Well done 10/10 for the experience … Carter 2?

hina Sep 06 2022 4:20 pm I can't say i liked the film. I just want to know who is the naked mafia lady before the Carter killed probably a hundred of mafia with knifes without getting a scratch. lol

Panic Sep 06 2022 5:59 am Carter pretty badass!! Loving the camera work and editing, and of course the action. 10/10. Joo Won wowwwwww what an actor !!!!!

Frank Zappa Aug 26 2022 4:48 am Hey there, Carter very cool. 10/10

boomerang Aug 21 2022 5:56 am First 15 minutes was great! I have never seen this action scenes before in my life! But it went downhill from there :(

Grew tired of it and I almost wish I can get back those few minutes I lost...and also from writing this. What a waste.

ahjikoon Aug 20 2022 1:52 am the actor was great but I can't stand it because I'm dizzy.. it's like watching a pubg game or a ghost documentary..please next time take the pictures properly..

Why Aug 15 2022 1:06 pm It was a 2022 Korean anti-virus movie, the action scenes were perfect. The theme is about what happens to an agent whose memory has been erased ooo who is looking to save the professor's o, who has a virus, but there are many secrets. Carter is the best action movie Netflix produced this year yall can miss me with The Gray Man. Experience: Whoa what an action thriller this is, an epic entertainer from start to finish, its best one for me in 2022 so far, its one of those movies which you can't leave till you finish it, man the " Screenplay ", " The camerawork/camera flowing ". My score for the movie: 10/10

Carter is amazing This is a masterpiece. nothing bad about it, just a little short. definitely a different movie, but the way its looks is perfect to me. i need to watching some more like this. Fav part: Joo Won scene in helicopter For a first appearance of Joo Won on Netflix, this has been very solid.

Metallica Aug 11 2022 6:44 pm It was a 2022 Korean anti-virus movie, the action scenes were perfect. The theme is about what happens to an agent whose memory has been erased and who is looking to save the professor's daughter, who has a virus, but there are many secrets.

Carter is the best action movie Netflix produced this year yall can miss me with The Gray Man.

Experience: Whoa what an action thriller this is, an epic entertainer from start to finish, its best one for me in 2022 so far, its one of those movies which you can't leave till you finish it, man the " Screenplay ", " The camerawork/camera flowing ". My score for the movie: 10/10

Carter critique Aug 11 2022 5:36 pm Unbelievable, this is not a movie at all, it’s an animated arcade show, story feels like playing game. We hope they don’t make any more like this. Not even close to a drama or movie. So bad.

M Aug 11 2022 6:25 am Absolute garbage. Everything from the acting, camera work and the script. Oh and the CGI is laughable

Dave Aug 10 2022 4:41 pm Best Korean Action Movie ever !

Jan Aug 10 2022 10:13 am This movie makes me dizzy.. the cameraman ddidn’t do his job well.

Sasta Aug 08 2022 6:26 am The action scene 10/10 Camerawork 2/10

Lee Seohwa Aug 08 2022 1:10 am So funny because white lady got flew out with North Koreans!

Dizzy Man Aug 07 2022 7:41 pm Great action, but I was left f***ing dizzy once the movie ended.

To keep it short, it’s a movie with too low a budget for the type of direction the director took it. Superb choreo though.

If you’re okay with the camerawork, then it’s a solid movie. Nothing special, but a solid movie. You’ll know within the first 10-15 minutes or so whether you’ll end up with a migraine by the end of the movie or not

Alice Aug 07 2022 8:47 am For sure they have only 1 camera.

Shi Aug 07 2022 12:15 am Got dizzy watching for 15 minutes. I dont want to continue

Stan Aug 06 2022 10:08 pm Jesus Christ the worst movie I have seen in the past 24 years. Yep that’s right, the worst movie I’ve ever seen.

The camera and video production is horrible. The effect the producer is trying to create does not work. In fact, this movie should be taught in school so no one will recreate it.

Mike Aug 06 2022 9:45 pm Not my type of movie. This is 1000x more intense than a bollywood action movie

levi Aug 06 2022 11:34 am I feel bad for Joo Won. Why all english actor in korean movies so cringe. Editing just suck camera suck. This is headache movies.

ASH Aug 06 2022 8:42 am The director was too ambitious lol, you can tell from the effects they got no budget.

Joo Won is a beast though.

Taka Aug 06 2022 6:27 am Feel like puking ? lousy movie

Ruka Aug 06 2022 12:19 am This movie is wasted because of the camera .. it keeps moving .. it gives me headache .. and it even looks like a PC game .. i'm so diappointed .. i even waited for it for a long time??

Sadviewer Aug 05 2022 8:29 pm This movie has a lot of action but lacking in emotion. Exhausting and and will make you dizzy. Joo Won wasted his superb talent in this project again just like in Alice. His being nearly naked did not save the movie.

Chrisma Aug 05 2022 7:27 pm This movie was 100% boring like the plot was confusing af honestly. I didn't understand how hana was the cure when she didnt help anybody but the daughter from what i saw. This movie is a solid 4/10.

Dude Aug 05 2022 4:30 pm What a complete superficial garbage. I am sorry but atleast "The Villanese" was a better movie and had 100% better story and non robust editing like this movie has. This movie has one of the worst obvious editions I have seen recently when it comes to continous action sequences. (famous panning)

What the heck happen?

Did the post production editing was rushed?

Really a complete waste of two hours. There are just a few action sequences that are atleast passable and well made, but are really few not even the cliche weak plot adds something interesting to uphold what the movie lacks, which does lacks from both aspects honestly mindless purporless movie. Wow.

Joanne Aug 05 2022 4:19 pm The movie is very good, but there is one thing I didn't understand, at the end of the day we didn't quite know who created and spread the virus. But the movie is surperb. Loving Joo Won even more after watching this. Hope he has many more projects

Dyn Aug 05 2022 8:16 am One shot effect was done well. Very intense. Lot of fight scenes that I got tired myself haha. This is a great movie for those who really loves action films. Good job joowon. You did your role very well!

Brenda Jollymore Aug 05 2022 8:07 am I didn’t understand the ending when the bridge blew up. Did they die?

Magnolia Aug 05 2022 7:59 am 8/10. Overall...the acting and the plot were good. But i think the camera work and editing was all over the place, too exaggerating and make me kinda dizzy

Optimism Aug 05 2022 6:38 am The movie is very intense
