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.

"Carry-On" is an action movie that is definitely a Christmas movie, no ifs, ands or buts about it.

3/5

... A filling chunk of crude entertainment – as carb-rich and greens-free as the baked potato you’ll probably eat with it.

The one-dimensional characters and lack of awareness around how airports work—to say nothing of the shameless bootlicking throughout—turn Carry-On into an immediately forgettable holiday hatewatch.

3.5/5

A fairly entertaining and intriguing film that keeps you glued to the screen and, yes, let’s call it what it is: a popcorn flick, even if it never made it to theaters. At times formulaic and with some implausible moments, though. [Full Review in Spanish]

7/10

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.

I'm a Taron's fan, I watched this movie because of him, I think it's cool that he wants to play a pedestrian characters and explore the fear, the anxiety and deeper emotions. I'm not super interested in the story but overall a good watch.

After what we been through at the airport dealing with TSA at Newark airport in New Jersey , this movie is trivial in comparison

A super intense movie, especially for Bateman. The only action I remember him in is Game Night and in that, he plays the hero. I was surprised at first, but he did do a really good job playing the part. The ending did seem like a small budget “get rid of everything” but overall, I would watch it again. (Just maybe not on a plane)

I'm an idiot to watch this type of stuff. Gave up when Batemen character seemed happy to die. Earlier in film he was in it for the money. BS in so many ways.
