New action/crime/thriller Carry-On stars Taron Egerton as a young TSA agent, while Jason Bateman is the mysterious traveller who blackmails him into letting a dangerous package onto a Christmas day flight.

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra; additional key cast includes Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, Theo Rossi and Logan Marshall-Green.

This is one of those films I both want to see and don’t want to see in equal measure.

Egerton and ‘the saving of the day’ are why I’m interested. The idea of someone hell-bent on wrecking ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ for so many is why I’m less enthused. Especially when the release date is close to the most wonderful time of the year.

There’s also having to accept the generally likeable Bateman in the role of someone ruthless enough to attempt something so awful. Perhaps the story is complex, and Bateman’s character isn’t just pure evil. one wonders.

I’m curious, what are your thoughts on the Carry-On trailer?

Tonatiuh, Dean Norris, Curtiss Cook, Sinqua Walls, Joe Williamson, Gil Perez-Abraham, Reisha Reynolds and Edwin Kho also star.

Cary-On Release Dates: December 13th, 2024, Netflix…

Happy Film Loving,
