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

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

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

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.

I enjoyed the movie. It was a really good watch. But the role wasn't for Bateman...

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

Just another un-original, cliche, plot hole ridden movie that is not worth the 2 hours of wasted time.

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.
