An Agent Must Rescue a Girl To End a Pandemic
In Carter, the exposition comes swiftly
As a group of English-speaking foreigners in South Korea sit on a bus, a Korean-speaking news reporter in the background reports that an infectious virus, emerging out of the Korean DMZ, is rapidly turning people into monsters
The prime suspect is Carter, who is found at the scene the doctor is said to be.
Unable to remember anything, he is forced to answer a ringing phone, which violently explodes, and then Carter begins hearing the woman’s voice from the other end of his head. She now gives him instructions on what to do and where to go, lest he dies from a bomb implanted in his mouth, and along the way, he discovers that he worked for North Korea, his wife died of the virus, and now he needs to help North Korea get the treatments ready for the disease before it is too late
At the same time, the CIA is chasing Carter and trying to eliminate him from the equation
A Bloody Sequence of Events
Carter seeks to establish itself immediately from its predecessor, making the fight scenes bigger and bloodier.
It does not need an excuse to focus on the story too much, but, instead, the extended fight sequences are edited to look like they happen in a single take.
Carter believes everything, which could have been made up for all that he knows.
