From the hero's hair sprayed like a duck to the fake interior decor of the airport, including the costumes that look like they were propelled from the dry cleaner's door directly onto the actors, or the heroine's impeccable blow-dry and the totally artificial lighting of the whole thing, the only thing that doesn't smell fake and new in this trailer is the script that seems to be the result of a mix between Die Hard and Phone Game by the late Joel Schumacher (we need to stop with the algorithms now, it's getting annoying).
Are Netflix movies TV movies?££££
The cherry on the cake is the villain who tells the hero: "The only thing we ask of you is to do nothing." We wonder who at Netflix "greenlights" this kind of thing. Normally, trailers are supposed to make viewers want to see more, and above all, to condense what is best in the film. This says a lot about the potential of Carry-On, in a quick TV movie mode, which still suggests that at Christmas on Netflix, in addition to the traditional turkey, there will be turnips.
Taron Egerton returns after Kingsman££££
It should be noted that the project marks the return to an action film of Taron Egerton, the star of Kingsman, who has not made an action film since 2018's Robin Hood. Here he plays agent Ethan Kopek who works during the holidays on the X-ray scanners of an airport, when he is contacted by a mysterious traveler and terrorist (Jason Bateman) who will blackmail him into letting a particularly dangerous package pass on Christmas Eve, endangering the lives of everyone on board the flight and in the airport. TJ Fixman wrote the screenplay for the $47 million film, which was shot in late 2022 and will be released on Netflix on December 13.
