but they don't have to be there for Christmas. It could easily be to celebrate a new merger, quarterly sales successes, etc. Carry On has to occur during the holiday season because that's when the busiest travel days occur. They are relying on the overworked TSA agents and the sheer volume of people to make the plan work.Definitely Not A Cop said:
You could make the same case for Die Hard though. They are all in the building due to an office Christmas party.

There you go. I k ew he looked familiar. He was good in Rocket Man.
He was the lead in The Kingsmen movies as well.
He didn't have to set the bar higher. He had a 27 year old wife that was leading operations for an entire airline at an airport. That's his sugar mamaDefinitely Not A Cop said:
Don't get the hate, thought it's a fun way to spend an evening.
Spoilers for the end:
I did laugh that after the TSA Agent stopped an international terrorist attempt basically singlehanded, he only became an officer at LAPD. Like damn, man, surely the FBI would have taken you for that, right? Set your bar higher.

I enjoyed this movie and would recommend any to watch it. I thought Bateman was a great villain, and everything the TSA agent tried to do, he was there to knock him back a peg or two. There chess game was entertaining. GF not the best actress, but fine job.
The car chase scene, being CGI was awesome! That seemed pretty realistic and got my heart pumping.
There is a bit in the beginning that screams "TSA Agents are people too, damnit" but whatever, when you do so many cop, military, pilot hero movies, you're left with TSA Agents and Mailmen....
edit: I'd love to hear the defenders of Die Hard is a Christmas movie, how you would classify Carry-on. If you call DH a Christmas movie, I don't know how you don't call Carry-on a Christmas Movie. It is almost checking the box on DH's criteria and including it all in the movie.

Watched it, clever enough at the beginning, plot fell apart a bit for sure near the end.
the genius IT assistant guy in the van became a raving lunatic when he was attempting to kill the heroes girlfriend which made no sense

Theo Rossi is the worst actor in every film/tv show he is in

Die Hard was also released in July and marketed as summer blockbuster, not a Christmas movie.

Miracle on 34th Street was released in May. So that's not a Christmas movie now?
Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Set at Christmas. Travels to see his family at Christmas. Christmas party. Ho ho ho. Christmas wrapping tape conceals his pistol in the pivotal moment.

But it could've been a New Year's Eve party and nothing changes.
Not a Christmas movie. Christmas adjacent, like many others. Eyes Wide Shut, Edward Scissorhands, Lethal Weapon, etc.

Watched the trailer the other day and it gave me 'Phone Booth' with Colin Farrell vibes. Might have to check it out.

I enjoyed it. You obviously have to suspend disbelief going in like you do with all of these sorts of movies (average Joe disrupts the plot of highly skilled professionals) and the authorities behave in ways that are almost comically absurd at times. But Bateman carries the movie (he's basically a better version of Kiefer Sutherland's character in Phone Booth) and it creates enough suspense to keep you interested.
By Netflix standards it was great. Easily better than almost every other original movie they put out but I realize that's a very low bar.
This was probably the most unrealistic part of the entire movie lol, especially at LAX.vanderhoosen said:
I thought it was pretty fun and entertaining, especially since you don't see this style of movie much anymore. There were some small things I nitpicked about and had to laugh that an airport bathroom on Christmas Eve was completely empty on more than 1 occasion.
we kept wondering why Agent Schrader didn't notice Eggsy talking to himself. A lot.DannyDuberstein said:
