A Different Kind of Christmas Movie: Action and Suspense at the Airport

Netflix has made some totally unique holiday films, usually cute and charming romantic comedies! A Christmas Prince trilogy, anyone? Those really created strong interest in this specific audience but  Carry-On is completely different. We’re talking pure edge-of-your-seat action with a festive twist. Expect that incredibly high tension as Egerton's character gets an earpiece from a shadowy voice (Bateman) blackmailing him into smuggling some deadly thing on that Christmas flight!   And they have something that’s personally connected to the TSA agent that the blackmailer might harm if he fails in those key objectives that get hinted toward very early in that preview.

The preview reveals Bateman's amazing transformation.  We’ve all seen his funny, likeable roles! His recent turn in Ozark showed his darker side and Carry-On takes him full villain, and you’ll see Bateman’s character as both an intriguing voice in an earpiece but in additional action scenes happening away from the confines of this airport – adding even more depth and complexity.

The collaboration with Collet-Serra could establish something serious – an action-hero partnership for the years ahead.
