Film Review - Carry-On

CARRY ON 1

Director Jaume Collet-Serra once specialized in making mid-range genre pictures, favoring thrillers such as “Non-Stop,” “Run All Night,” and “The Commuter.” He decided to head for the big leagues in recent years, going the monster-budget route in “Jungle Cruise” and “Black Adam,” only to find audience rejection and disappointing box office. Collet-Serra is back in B-movie mode with “Carry-On,” which follows the panicky efforts of a TSA agent trying to stop a terrorist from getting a weapon onto a plane on Christmas Eve. Say what you will about 1990’s “Die Hard 2,” but the feature knew how to use its airport setting and retained a tremendous appreciation for hard violence and enjoyable absurdity. “Carry-On” starts off with promise, getting about an hour’s worth of suspense and escalation in before it goes bananas, and not in a fun way. Instead, the helmer and screenwriter T.J. Fixman (“Ratchet & Clank”) offer overkill, ruining a decent attempt to mount a dangerous game of intimidation in a most exposed setting.
