And it has reached No.
Not to mention, its leaps and bounds above Prime Videos Christmas-set action flick, Red One."
Though, just be aware its certainly not going to replace Die Hard."
Ethan Kopek (Taron Egerton) is a man stuck in a rut.
But the young security agent is about to experience the holiday shift from hell.
The travelers plan is soon revealed and Ethan realizes that hundreds of passengers are in grave danger.
Ethan runs about the airport so much in the third act that his daily step count must have trebled.
The real ace up Carry-Ons sleeve is Jason Bateman, who is devilishly diabolical.
And I love it.
If youve ever seen the (very underrated) thriller The Gift, Bateman channels the same energy.
His character is plenty menacing, and his condescending tone and cynical worldview make him extremely easy to dislike.
And that dislike of the antagonist carries through the two-hour runtime.
Youll find plenty of plotholes and logical inconsistencies if you look for them.
I suspect a popularYouTubechannel that counts sins in movies will have a field day with this Netflix flick.
Overall, Im totally okay with Carry-On being a fun but flawed action-thriller romp.
And at least its a lot better than Die Hard 5!
The Netflix movie currently holds a very strong 86% score onRotten Tomatoes.
That makes it one of the highest-rated Netflix movies of the year.
Which is an assessment I would echo.
Carry-On looks set to entertain Netflix viewers over the holiday season.
And its some of the most fun Ive had watching a Netflix movie this year.
This is a disposable holiday-themed action thriller.
Don’t expect to recall much of it by Boxing Day.
