Carter (or rather: Kato) tries to present itself as a one-shot-film, but it is not quite the Korean Hardcore Henry. There is little effort hiding the supposedly invisible cuts, of which there are many. The ever-flying shaky camera drone is busy, as are the very dedicated stunt people, and the soros of CGI. The plot is... and illogical mix of something even C-grade video games wouldn't dare to use; the upside of which is that it is unpredictable. Three secret agencies, an coup, implanted devices, fast Zombies, save-the-daughter, some Total Recall, Indiana Jones, and Blood Red Sky, with a hint of Extraction and James Bond. Bullet-proof pigs I'm OK with, infinite ammo magazines we all know - but flea-like zombies, the free fall fight, and the CGI fires are hilarious. Or bad, depending on your expectations. Apply plenty Suspension of Disbelief to be entertained. Warning, not suitable for fragile Americans: Aside from lots of gory violence, there's also brief frontal nudity, and we know you're easily scared by asian genitalia.
