Carry-On 2024

★★★½

Taron Egerton, i'm a fan! Woooo, what an intense performance by him, loved every bit of it and was nerve racking. It sheds a light on how challenging of task it is for the TSA to handle passengers before take-off and then including this mystery Traveler into it to intense the situation up by forcing Ethan to let a dangerous item slip onto a Christmas Eve flight was integrated very nicely. Those intense moments were so good when the Traveler and Ethan have a back and fourth, it’s all about who can out smart who here with the stakes being upped by having a lot people’s lives on the line here. Listening to Jason Bateman talk casually felt really therapeutic to me, fabulous performance by him with some comedic elements. 

It is very nicely paced and it just kept getting better and better as the minutes went by and the performances of the cast are noteworthy as they do a very convincing performance. The writing felt a little laughable at some moments but overall i enjoyed it very much and didn’t went into this thinking it would be a very smart movie where every decision makes sense. The fight between Elena Cole and Agent Alcott in the car while Last Christmas plays on the radio was easily the best part of the movie, it was funny, intense, action packed and most importantly came out of nowhere and it left a mark with me. My only gripe with this movie is that ending felt little dull with how everything went down it could’ve been better.

                                I can do hard.
