Get ready for a chaotic Christmas season, because Netflix’s upcoming action thriller ‘Carry-On’ is about to shake things up. The film, starring Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, promises a high-stakes thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Egerton plays Ethan Kopek, a TSA agent who finds himself in a desperate situation when he encounters a mysterious traveler (played by the ever-intriguing Jason Bateman). This enigmatic individual blackmails Ethan, forcing him to allow a dangerous package onto a Christmas Day flight. The teaser trailer is packed with thrilling moments, including a car crash and a tense confrontation at airport security.
The stakes are incredibly high. Bateman’s character warns Ethan, “There’s people in control, and there’s people that listen. I’m the guy you listen to.” The threat is clear: if Ethan doesn’t comply, the traveler will unleash havoc, potentially killing everyone in the airport, including someone Ethan loves.
‘Carry-On’ features a star-studded cast, including Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, Sinqua Walls, Logan Marshall-Green, Theo Rossi, Josh Brener, Dean Norris, Tonatiuh, Curtiss Cook, Joe Williamson, and Gil Perez-Abraham. The film is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, known for his work on thrillers like ‘Non-Stop’ and ‘The Commuter,’ both starring Liam Neeson.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Collet-Serra discussed the complex character of Ethan Kopek: “Ethan is a relatively ordinary person thrust into an extraordinary situation, and how he adapts and grows to save his loved ones over the course of the film ends up making him pretty extraordinary, even though what he discovers is that being extraordinary is actually just being himself.”
‘Carry-On’ promises a fast-paced, suspenseful ride that will keep you glued to the screen. With its high-stakes plot, talented cast, and experienced director, it’s sure to be one of Netflix’s most thrilling releases of the fall. Don’t miss the premiere on December 13, 2024.
