‘Carry-On’ Review: Taron Egerton And Jason Bateman Play Tense Cat-And-Mouse Game In Netflix’s Time-Bomb-Ticking Holiday Airport Thriller
A review of Carry-On, a Die Hard-style holiday thriller in an airport in which TSA agent Taron Egerton must outwit sinister traveler Jason Bateman.
Collet-Serra, also a director of popcorn entertainments like Dwayne Johnson vehicles Black Adam and Jungle Cruise, certainly is in his comfort zone here but does manage to add human touches to the victims, particularly Eddie and Nora, both well played by Egerton and Carson. Deadwyler, who seems to be good in any genre, stands out as a determined detective hot on the trail, and Bateman in a rare sicko bad guy role handles both the voice-on-the-phone aspects and the creepy physicality once Traveler comes fully into focus. Title: Carry-On Distributor: Netflix Release date: December 13, 2024 Director: Juame Collet-Serra Screenwriter: T. J. Fixman Cast: Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, Jason Bateman, Theo Rossi, Dean Norris, Logan Marshall-Green, Sinqua Walls, Gil Perez Abraham Rating: PG-13 Running time: 1 hr 59 mins
