Netflix is taking its Korean content to the next level, and it shows with the release of the teaser trailer for the streamer’s upcoming movie ‘Carter’.
The action flick, releasing on August 5, stars Joo Won in the lead and promises thrills, gun fights and plenty of breathtaking stunts.
In the trailer, Joo’s character Carter wakes up without any memories.
