Critics Consensus

Taron Egerton and an against-type Jason Bateman make for great adversaries in Carry-On, a throwback thriller that clears all checkpoints of plot logic with its confident execution.

Peter Rainer FilmWeek (LAist) A real guilty pleasure. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News "Carry-On" is an action movie that is definitely a Christmas movie, no ifs, ands or buts about it. Rated: B Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) ... A filling chunk of crude entertainment – as carb-rich and greens-free as the baked potato you’ll probably eat with it. Rated: 3/5 Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Cameron Ritter Geek Vibes Nation Carry-On proves itself to be more than a mid-level thriller with exceptional performances from its two leads and consistent work from Jaume Collet-Serra and his team of talented craftspeople. Rated: 7/10 Jul 20, 2025 Full Review John Daniel Tangalin The Cinema Spot Despite its at-times overwhelming screenplay resulting in a prolonged runtime, Collet-Serra and Fixman’s crime thriller is packed with enough action and mystery to satisfy audiences for the festive season. Rated: 4/5 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Matthew Simpson Movies We Texted About It sounds like -and is!- the kind of movie you’ve seen before, Collet-Serra manages to make it feel fresh, new, and exciting by staging some fun fights and chases [...] and by leveraging two great actors in the lead roles.

Helen R This is a very disappointing movie! What a let down in all ways! Don't waste your time on this one! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review bob t entertaining, fast-paced, thriller with Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman! Hell Yeah! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed the movie. It was a really good watch. But the role wasn't for Bateman... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Dark K Felt like phone booth but a little more fleshed out. Not very realistic, though it patches some of the holes, plenty still exist. It's a decent enough action movie if you have some time to kill. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Mark F. Just another un-original, cliche, plot hole ridden movie that is not worth the 2 hours of wasted time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Vixo S Carry-On isn’t bad at all for a Netflix movie — and that says a lot, given the usual expectations for their productions. The film manages to keep the tension high from start to finish, with a script that, while simple, knows when to surprise and how to keep the viewer hooked. The performances are solid, especially the lead, who carries the emotional weight of the story without overdoing it. The direction is effective, and the action scenes are well executed, with a pace that never drags. It’s one of those movies you end up enjoying more than expected and proves that Netflix can still deliver strong and entertaining projects when it wants to. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
