As a seasoned cinephile with over three decades of film-watching under my belt, I must say that Netflix’s Carry-On is an absolute triumph that transcends the holiday season and appeals to a wide audience. With its Die Hard-esque plotline and stellar cast featuring Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, and Jason Bateman, it’s no wonder this thriller has dominated the streaming charts for weeks on end.
My personal favorite scene is when our hero (Taron Egerton) skillfully navigates the airport’s chaos while simultaneously outwitting the antagonist – talk about a modern-day action hero! The film’s pacing, suspenseful moments, and clever twists make it a must-watch for any action enthusiast.
And let me tell you, as someone who has watched Die Hard more times than I can count, Carry-On does an excellent job of honoring the original while still offering something fresh and exciting. It’s like watching a classic Christmas movie with a twist of adrenaline that leaves viewers on the edge of their seats!
Now, to lighten the mood: You know what they say – if you can’t catch your flight, take the Carry-On! (I’ll see myself out…)
Although the holidays have passed, the Christmas thriller on Netflix, “Carry-On“, has maintained its momentum as we welcome a new year. While the holiday rom-coms and Santa adventures from the streaming service no longer occupy top positions in the daily charts, they continue to hold their reign as the most popular movie on Netflix.
“Carry-On”
In this action-packed thriller, we follow Taron Egerton as he takes on the role of a TSA agent who receives an urgent call about a potentially harmful package on a flight during Christmas Eve. Similar to the classic film “Die Hard,” although set at Christmas, the movie’s appeal extends far beyond the holiday season. Jason Bateman also stars in this high-stakes adventure.
Last Wednesday, a week following Christmas, “Carry-On” continues to be the most popular movie on Netflix. Despite the recent introduction of massive Warner Bros. films such as “Dune: Part Two” and “Furiosa”, “Carry-On” has managed to maintain its leading position in Netflix’s rankings.

9. It Ends With Us (2024)
As someone who has navigated the complexities of relationships and the unexpected twists that life can throw at us, I find myself empathizing deeply with a woman whose seemingly perfect florist business is disrupted by the return of an old flame. The delicate balance of her professional and personal life, once harmonious, now hangs precariously in the balance.
The memories of this past love resurface, stirring emotions long dormant, challenging her resolve and testing the strength of her current relationship. The choices she must make are not easy; they demand a careful weighing of heartstrings and practical considerations, a dance between what feels right and what logic dictates.
This woman’s story serves as a poignant reminder that even in the most idyllic of circumstances, life has a way of introducing complications that force us to confront our deepest fears and desires. It underscores the fact that sometimes, the paths we thought were set in stone can shift under our feet, leaving us to find new ways forward.
In her struggle, I see a reflection of my own experiences, and I wish her the courage to make the choice that brings her peace, contentment, and ultimately, happiness.
