# Carry-On: Movie Review - Theflixtor
It's very easy to dismiss Carry On as just another Christmas-themed movie, or as some kind of Die Hard-light movie about a potential terrorist and his victim, but French director Jaume Collette's cat-and-mouse romp - Sera, set at an airport on Christmas Eve, is pretty exciting. This film is available to stream on [Theflixtor](https://theflixtor.vip/).

Egerton is charming as Ethan Kopec, an airport security guard who finds out he's about to become a father and has to give himself a wake-up call. His girlfriend accuses him of ignoring his ambitions, so on Christmas Eve, Kopec decides to ask his boss for a chance to prove himself - right after arriving late to his daily meeting.

Against all expectations, TSA agent Kopec makes it to the scanning machine - just as Bateman's fearsome antagonist appears within earshot, demanding that Kopec scan the bag and not alert anyone if he wants his loved ones alive.

Carry-On features moments of strong suspense mixed with moments of absurdity throughout as the dilemma unfolds.

But mostly avoiding the desire to be overly silly and staying down to earth (ironically for a story set in an airport) is what works best for this epic thriller, perfect for Saturday night entertainment.

Bateman's sarcastic delivery and deadpan delivery move him more dramatically than previous roles would have imagined - and that's exactly why it works. There are elements from earlier seasons of 24 (and the dilemma with the boss is clearly one of them), supporting Collet-Serra's intention to make this as exciting a ride as possible.

But what makes Carry On work so well is the dual dynamic between the understated Egerton and the laconic Bateman. The film knows exactly what it wants, and it achieves it in large part thanks to a healthy amount of action and likeable performances.
