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

... 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

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]

Rated: 3.5/5

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

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

Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes on in my life. I feel like everyone is just pretending on here. The plot is beyond thick.

One word: TAUT! This movie is a credit to the genre. Out-of-the-box plot, twist, twist, twist, non-stop tension and conflict, never 'jumps-the-shark", terrifically acted, directed, and a really good script, which should give a clue as to why Bateman and Egerton were signed on. Once all the exposition is out of the way, it's one hell of a ride. Rotten Tomatoes PopcornMeter, or whatever it is, gives it a mediocre score, while the Critics give it a VERY respectable 88. Trust the Critics on this one.

I really dont get the Hate for this Movie, it had a fantastic Storyline and was the whole time very thrilling, the Actors and Action Scenes were great and even though there were some Scenes that were not necessarily needed it still didn't made a huge difference to me, Overall a very good Movie and probably one of the most exciting ones that has been released last year, crazy I only now have been watching this.

Actors were good. Writing was abysmal! Worst writing, so many plot holes, wasted acting talent. Come on Netflix - who did you hire- the writer from Serial Ape-ist?! Netflix has become like old Hollywood. Crappy writing, studio actors cranking out garbage formulaic films. Please do better.
