Are you looking for your next holiday thriller? Well, look no further because Netflix has just released its latest offering, Carry On, and it's a chaotic Christmas romp set at an airport. Starring the talented Jason Bateman, this movie directed by Jaume Collett-Serra follows the story of young TSA agent Ethan Kopek as he gets caught up in a dangerous game of blackmail.
It all starts when Ethan is forced to work the Christmas Eve shift at LAX and help thousands of passengers travel to their holiday destinations. Little does he know, a mysterious traveller has planted a dangerous package in the airport and is now blackmailing Ethan to let it slip through security. If he doesn't comply, the traveller threatens to harm Ethan's pregnant girlfriend Nora. The stakes are high as the traveller demands "one bag for one life."
As the tension rises, Ethan finds himself in the middle of airport chases and security showdowns. And while the situation seems impossible, Ethan must find a way to smuggle the contaminated luggage through security to save his girlfriend's life. This high-paced action thriller has received praise from critics, earning an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The movie also stars Taron Egerton as a co-lead alongside Jason Bateman, and their performances have been applauded by reviewers. In fact, Variety described Carry On as "the streamer's stupid yet satisfying Die Hard knockoff." It's no surprise that this movie has been compared to the iconic Christmas action film, with some even calling it a worthy competitor.
But don't worry, Carry On still has its own unique twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. And for those looking for a fun and entertaining holiday watch, this movie is perfect. As Collider puts it, "Carry-On is pure escapist fare that you can turn on while sitting next to your Christmas tree."
One of the most intriguing aspects of this movie is that it was filmed in the old wing of the New Orleans airport, redesigned to look like LAX. And according to co-star Sofia, working with Taron Egerton was a great experience. She praised his acting skills and attention to detail, which helped bring their characters and their relationship to life on screen.
Interestingly, Taron was initially hesitant to take on the role of an archetypal action hero. But director Jaume Collett-Serra convinced him otherwise, and Taron ended up delivering a compelling performance. In an interview with Netflix, Taron shared, "What we kept our eyes on was making sure that we made him feel as relatable and as normal as possible... whatever normal is in the extraordinary situation he's in."
So, if you're looking for a thrilling and entertaining holiday watch, Carry On is now streaming on Netflix. Trust us, you won't be disappointed. And if you have a celebrity story or any interesting news, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'd love to hear from you.
