Carry-On

This movie is clearly riding the tail coats of the Die Hard franchise. Unfortunately, it is hampered by very lazy, unimaginative and unrealistic writing. The characters are taking one stupid decision after another to keep the plot going. The main character undergoes a transformation in two hours that is beyond believable, and doesn't make any sense. Jason Bateman as usual is doing a very decent job, but unfortunately that cannot save the movie. Overall, quite the disappointment.

This is becoming quite a common problem with Netflix movies: big budgets, some very decent actors, mediocre CGI, and absolutely terrible writing.

Let's be real...does anyone expect a Netflix original to be anything special these days? Not every movie has to stun with its plot and characters, and Carry-On certainly doesn't do that. The crime in this movie is completely and totally unrealistic, but who really cares? I never got the impression that this movie took itself very seriously, especially when you consider Jason Bateman is playing a villain. I generally enjoy action packed thrillers, and the fight/conflict scenes in this movie deserve some more recognition. The fighting choreography was interesting 9especially since this takes place in an airport) and the main characters aren't making stupid decision after stupid decision. Was this a great movie? Absolutely not. But OK movies exist and can still be fun if you're looking for something new to watch.

It wasn't the absolute best movie I've ever seen, but it had some really good moments and solid acting. I enjoyed the movie and it left me wanting more.

I've seen comparisons to Diehard, and while this is no die hard, it is certainly a watchable movie.

The main character is likable and you get drawn into his story. While it is not a complex movie and is easy to follow, sometimes you just want escapism. I would like to see a follow up with the same main characters.

I think seeing the main character carrying out his duties as a police officer with the young family would make a really good movie.

Carry On is a deeply disappointing film riddled with flaws that make it unbearable to watch. The acting is abysmally poor, with every actor delivering lines in a stiff, unnatural manner that drains all emotion from the scenes. Emotional moments feel forced, and the performances lack any depth, making it impossible to connect with the characters. The script is equally weak, with a plot that meanders aimlessly and offers no focus or clarity. Scenes feel disconnected, and the pacing drags on unnecessarily. Combined with poor direction and an overall lack of effort, Carry On becomes an absolute waste of time, energy, and patience.

This movie has a great premise, great actors, great characters. Unfortunately, the longer the movie goes on, the more frustrating it gets. The characters continue to make decisions that make ZERO sense. The plot also falls apart quickly everything is so quickly able to be solved if the characters used any common sense.

I figured it would be an mindless action thriller. It is an action thriller, but it's hard to be mindless with how obvious the characters are making bad decision after bad decision. Too many to be even remotely believable.

Again, all the actors did a great job with their characters, there are just so many obvious flaws in the story and plot that the movie became frustrating as it end on.
