As the holiday season approaches, Netflix viewers are buzzing with excitement over a new Christmas thriller that has been hailed as the best movie of the year. With so many options on your watchlist, from the popular Squid Game to the highly anticipated return of Gavin and Stacey, it can be tough to choose what to watch next. But fear not, because after the massive success of Black Doves on the streaming platform, we may have found your next must-watch movie to get you in the festive spirit.
Carry On follows the story of Ethan, a TSA agent, who finds himself in a race against time to stop a mysterious traveler from smuggling a dangerous item onto a Christmas Eve flight. Starring Taron Egerton as Ethan, along with Jason Bateman and Sofia Carson, this thrilling film is packed with suspense, airport chases, and intense security showdowns as the stakes continue to rise.
Fans have even compared Carry On to the classic action film, Die Hard, insisting that it's not a Christmas movie, but rather a movie set during Christmas. Twitter user @duartengsilva raved, "#CarryOn is a fantastic Christmas movie that brought back Die Hard 2 vibes! Taron Egerton shines as an action hero, and I hope this isn't the last we see of this character. A fantastic performance in a fantastic film!" Others have also praised the film, with user @mik_dr0p calling it an "edge-of-the-seat thriller" and @MarkDavis declaring it a "solidly entertaining popcorn-chomper."
The film has also caught the attention of some big names, with Jason Bateman playing the role of the mysterious traveler and Sofia Carson as Nora Parisi, Ethan's love interest. Twitter user @PlantBsdSprtsChek commented, "#CarryOn on Netflix is a freaking great watch and could be the next #DieHard. By that, I mean a movie set during Christmas that's not a Christmas movie." It's safe to say that Carry On has become a fan favorite, with viewer @luqwho even calling it one of the best movies of the year.
"If you haven't yet - watch #CarryOn on @Netflix," tweeted @JessicaOnAirDJ. "I was sweating bricks and on the edge of my seat watching it. So good!" And @MovielandAU added, "New #Netflix movie 'Carry On' is not only a contender for Christmas Movie of the Year, but in general; Best Movie of the Year. For fans of Die Hard, this one is a suspenseful masterpiece! Add Carry On to your watchlist!"
Despite being a Netflix original holiday film, Carry On has received an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and has broken records with over 42 million views in just one week. It has become the biggest opening for a Netflix film this year and has secured the top spot on the streamer's global top 10 list of English-speaking movies.
Fans are already calling it the new Die Hard, and it seems that Kingsman star Taron Egerton would be open to returning for a sequel if the right idea comes along. "It's kind of like an extraordinary set of circumstances," he shared with Digital Spy. "So I think it would need a really innovative, creative idea to feel like a worthy idea for a sequel." He even added that sequels "work for Die Hard, so who knows?"
But for now, Carry On is available to watch on Netflix, and it's definitely a must-see for all action and thriller lovers. So grab some popcorn, get comfortable, and prepare to be on the edge of your seat as you watch this holiday gem.
