I have given up on movies half way through; this time I got three quarters through before dumping it. Why? This movie has lots of eye candy with stunts and CGI. What it doesn't have is coherrence of story. There's a new virus that started in the Korean DMZ. Some blame North Korea, some South Korea, some the USA. I don't know if that ever gets resolved or not; when I finally quit this hot mess, I didn't care.
It was confusing about daughters. Was Carter's daughter in danger, was the top researcher's daughter in danger, or both? The plot(?) was as clear as mud on a dark night. Acting? Who knows. In the 2 hours and 12 minutes of gob-smacking action, there wasn't time to act. In the end, a movie has to make the audience love or hate the characters. Carter did neither. Please, writers and director, clarify the story and try again. Fantastic stunts and high body count does not a movie make.
