Why watch this film?
A zombie pandemic sweeps the world, a man wakes up with no memory of his identity or past, and there's a bomb in his mouth. The only thing that will stop it from exploding is rescuing a girl who could have the answer to stopping the pandemic before North Korean or CIA agents get to her first. That's how the South Korean movie 'Carter' begins, an exclusive Netflix production. But the plot - which by itself already mixes elements from various genres - isn't what stands out here, but rather the execution, since 'Carter' is one of those action movies told in real-time and filmed in one take (or disguised cuts to look like it). The production directed by South Korean Jung Byung-gil ('A Village') aspires to the sophistication of Sam Mendes' Oscar-winning film '1917', although in reality it's more like the frenetic 'Hardcore: Mission Extreme'. The use of the one-take instead of being immersive makes the movie seem like a long scene from a video game. This combined with a plot that mixes so many genres and subplots results in a movie that trips on its own ambitions, although it can be fun if you're looking for an action movie with an unusual execution.

From the same director
The Villainess
Applauded for four minutes after its showing at the Cannes Film Festival, 'The Villainess' is from the same creators as 'Zombie Invasion'. With incredible scenes, great fight choreography, and first-class camera movement, the production is an example of what Asians (mostly Koreans) are achieving in action cinema. The story is about a young girl trained since childhood to be an assassin, in the classic style of 'Nikita: Criada para Matar' but with a touch of the 'Bourne' saga. Recommended for fans of the genre or Asian cinema.
Action
The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is one of those films that seem designed to have it all and thus please the broadest audience possible. Based on the 1980s series of the same name and directed by David Leitch (former stunt double and now director of films like Bullet Train and Deadpool 2), the movie follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a down-on-his-luck stunt double who must investigate the mysterious disappearance of actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as this would ruin the first movie of his beloved, filmmaker Jody (Emily Blunt). And the major problem with this movie is that it tries to be everything: romantic comedy, action comedy, Hollywood satire, crime mystery, and more, hampered by the magnitude of its own ambitions, as well as an overloaded and unclear script. You can enjoy it as an insight into the world behind action cinema, and for the charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
