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, 2026
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

7/10
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

Racheal L @insomniac_racheal 1 day ago The trailer was brilliant, but the movie was an absolute masterpiece 🔥 This was a very entertaining thriller but I felt as though the writers revealed the antagonist far too quickly, some scenes defied logic and there were far too many plot holes. I have to admit that even though Taron Egerton was excellent as the panicked protagonist, Jason Bateman completely stole the show with a chillingly sinister performance. The story eventually builds towards a high-octane ending that, while a bit predictable, delivers a thoroughly satisfying, action-heavy payoff. A MUST WATCH 🫶 See more Hunter B @RT85277157 5 days ago I would really recommend this movie Great Actors Good Story and overall the best movie you’ll see in a long time See more Fro T @frothizzlereviews Sep 18, 2026 Jason Bateman is ice-cold as the villain, and I liked Taron Egerton as our TSA guy. It was nice to see Dean Norris, even though I felt he was wasted. Theo Rossi is wasted a majority of his screen time, but his evil sniper character shines near the finale. Sofia Carson as the girlfriend gives a very wooden performance. Couple of moments that are hard to believe, but I had a fun time with this flick. Light 7/10 See more Steve F @RT87347453 Sep 14, 2026 I don’t know what film a lot of you have been seeing, but I saw an exciting interesting one. Really enjoyable film, give it a go! See more Benjamin C @saulgoodman67 Aug 11, 2026 It’s a solid thriller. See more J H @UpstateNYThriller Jul 22, 2026 6/10 Movie about a terrorist who wants to smuggle bomb on a plane. Jason Bateman is the terrorist. Very inaccurate not a very good movie. Lots of potholes Thrillers suspense I guess On Netflix See more Read all reviews
