Carry-On

A young TSA agent fights to outsmart a mysterious traveler who blackmails him into letting a dangerous package slip onto a Christmas Eve flight.

Carry-On is a suspenseful, anxious, and taut action thriller, led by a captivating and believable performance from Taron Egerton. While the story isn’t unique and many plot conveniences are built-in, the storytelling is efficient and moving.

In “Carry-On,” Egerton all but channels Bruce Willis in “Die Hard” (minus the smirking). It shouldn’t surprise anyone that the movie ends in a manner which suggests a possible sequel. As much as my heart would like see that, my head says: “Please, don’t.”

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