Carry On is a 2024 movie starring some guy I couldn’t care less to look up to be honest. (Taron Egerton) And another guy I think may have been important in the 80’s. (Jason Bateman) my friend told me to check it out and pitched it to me as “this generation’s Die Hard” which I thought was a bold claim to make. But was he right?
First off let’s get this out of the way,Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Carry On,just seems to take place on Christmas Eve. I am happy to listen to rebuttals however.
That part out of the way, the movie is absolutely fantastic. It is a game of cat and mouse between a man just trying to do his job,and a TSA worker trying to get a promotion. All the man wants to do is get a package onto an air plane and the TSA agent in question simply won’t let him do it.
The movie is full of action, plot twist and the occasional comedic moment. It has honestly been years since I’ve had this much fun with a movie. Is it the equivalent to Die Hard for this generation? No I don’t think so. There won’t be a debate about it being a Christmas movie for example. There is no way this movie has the cultural impact as Die Hard for example. But it is absolutely just as good of a movie. That is honestly good enough for me,best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
