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

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

If 'Die Hard 2' didn't exist, then this would be Die Hard 2. But it does exist. So it isn't. Except, it is. Or what's that James Bond film with the airport scene? Maybe it's that. Some of the scenes are ludicrous, completely unbelievable. And yet, still, it's worth a watch. Can't explain or justify why 😂

This movie certainly has its boring moments, but it’s certainly still worth a watch for the mystery and thriller elements! Watch out for that car chase - 10/10 scene

I enjoyed this movie. I thought it was a lot of fun and had some truly thrilling moments. It was fun to put myself in the protagonists position and see how I would respond. The movie does have some unbelievability or even thoughts of "why didn't he do this or that", but overall I would recommend it as a really fun movie.
