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.

... A filling chunk of crude entertainment – as carb-rich and greens-free as the baked potato you’ll probably eat with it. Go to Full Review
Andrew Jankowski Willamette Week Feb 28
The one-dimensional characters and lack of awareness around how airports work—to say nothing of the shameless bootlicking throughout—turn Carry-On into an immediately forgettable holiday hatewatch. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
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] Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Elisha I @asapidox 10h Such a fun, tense thriller. The simple airport setup works really well, and the movie keeps the pressure high almost the entire time. Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman were both great, especially Bateman being so unsettling. It’s fast-paced, entertaining, and exactly the kind of thriller that keeps you hooked from start to finish. See more Michael P @MikeP29 4d When not expecting much, colour me impressed Acting, dialogue, editing, action and vfs/sfx were all great with some particular impressive CG in some scenes. The cinematography was pretty good as well and the sound also played it's part. I was incredibly impressed with the story. Normally these movies play off a bunch of conveniences but this had 1 thing I thought was convenient and it wasn't even much of stretch. I really enjoyed how things came together and made tied together. It was a good length with great back story slowly dripped in to make things make sense in places and was an overall thrilling story That made the experience tense and anxiety driven with the only thing feeling somewhat dissatisfying was the final showdown. I had a tense but great time with this one See more Aria P @RT22865614 May 23 Carry-On is a tense, entertaining thriller that keeps the pressure high from start to finish.

See more Stefanie S @Stefmoviereview0519 Apr 15 I'm a Taron's fan, I watched this movie because of him, I think it's cool that he wants to play a pedestrian characters and explore the fear, the anxiety and deeper emotions. I'm not super interested in the story but overall a good watch. See more Read all reviews
