Neal Vitale Reviews: Carry-On **

February 2, 2025

As if air travel wasn't already stressful enough, along comes Carry-On (on Netflix) to ramp up the anxiety. Set in my local airport (LAX) during the peak Christmas travel season, this film tracks the efforts of a mysterious terrorist (Jason Bateman) to force an anxious neophyte TSA agent (Taron Egerton) to assist him with his nefarious intentions. It's a cleverly-developed thriller that ends in a ludicrous and impossible struggle – no, airplanes don't have a hatch that connects the cabin to the baggage hold. Diverting at first, but ultimately a cancelled flight.

Run, don’t walk, to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. Film: Crime 101 ***** Groundhog Day
