I loved this film, from start to finish, if you haven't watched it yet, go and watch it, it sure was a action, thriller, could do with more films like this I'd rate it 10/10_

You give me Bateman as a villain, and Egerton as a hero and I am sold. Airports suck so it is fun seeing all the chaos breakout and rules being broken but I wouldn't call this a masterpiece. It's a fun thriller for the holidays, and sometimes that is enough.

'Carry-On' is a movie that gave me the required entertainment, I found it all to be extremely watchable. There are one or two moments within the first hour that had me questioning how they were going to stretch interest for events onscreen for just short of two hours, but pleasantly they most certainly do.
Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman give excellent performances, I think even without just one or the other the film wouldn't work as nicely - they are the keys to its success, for me. That's not to say it's a production that only relies on its acting talent, because this felt well written; they make the predicament/actions of the characters justified.
I have no doubt that the film uses plenty of artistic licence, as per with movies, but that's something I have zero issue with - as long as it makes the plot more enjoyable, which most definitely is the case here in my opinion. Going back to the cast, nice to see Dean Norris involved; Danielle Deadwyler and Theo Rossi are positives as well.
Best way to sum this up: 'Die Hard' meets 'Toy Story 2'. I mean, come on, who doesn't wanna see that?!
