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.

Rated: B

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

There are, of course, plot holes large enough to fly a Dreamliner through... but these are problems you expect from a movie like this.

Carry-On is a vigorous reminder on the power of an engrossing B-grade action flick and showcases Collett-Serra's well-honed skills in breakneck characterization and plotting needed for emotionally invested tension.

Rated: 3.5/5

Anybody comparing this lazy junk to “Die Hard” is either living in an alternate universe or needs a couple of semesters of film school.

Carry-On keeps your interest, keeps you at the edge of your seat until the end. Not an easy script to write, it promises a great time. Acting was good, Jason Bateman is great. Totally worth the watch!

This is a rough movie. Jason Bateman plays a good bad guy but there were so many plot holes.

HILARIOUS! SO UNREALISTIC IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO WATCH. The best part was when the detective realized the guy driving was an imposter ~ the high speed fight & crash- best part of the movie!!!!! The rest Lame
