Netflix’s holiday selection for 2024 culminates with “Carry-On”, a festive film that has more in common with "Die Hard" than “Love Actually." And it has reached No. 1 on the Netflix top 10 list after just 24 hours on the platform with critics and viewers finding plenty of reasons to recommend this thriller flick.
This action-thriller sees a young TSA officer (played by Taron Egerton) thrown into a nightmare scenario on Christmas Eve when a traveler with a sinister intention blackmails him. It’s a festive pick that will add a little adrenaline to your holiday watchlist and serves as a nice change of pace from saccharine rom-coms or animated family movies. Not to mention, it’s leaps and bounds above Prime Video’s Christmas-set action flick, “Red One." Though, just be aware it’s certainly not going to replace “Die Hard."
