Sometimes you want to watch a movie that requires absolutely zero demands from the audience.
It's all about just sitting back, relaxing, and letting the story happen naturally. They can't think of anything and can't figure out who the culprit is.
The new Netflix thriller Carry On is just that. Because after another tough day, week, month, or year, who wants to be anything but a couch potato? I want to be as relaxed and relaxed as possible.
Taron Eggert plays Ethan Kopech, a Transportation Security Administration agent in charge of the baggage x-ray screening station at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
He hasn't been promoted in three years, but he'll get a chance to prove himself on Christmas Eve. A terrorist-level ordeal ensues as he finds himself caught in a dangerous game of blackmail and survival.

As his shift progresses, Ethan receives disturbing instructions from a ruthless mercenary.
The villain known as the Traveler is played by Jason Bateman.
The traveler communicates using earphones and orders Ethan to pass through security and allow a certain carry-on case or risk his girlfriend's life.
She also happens to work at the airport. To make matters worse, the Traveler's sidekick, aptly nicknamed The Watcher, watches Ethan's every move through a hacked airport surveillance system.
Despite trying several innovative methods, the TSA agent is unable to get help and things heat up when he takes aim at his girlfriend with a sniper rifle.
couch potato thriller
Things take a turn for the worse when Ethan discovers that his carry-on bag, which he has to pass through security, contains the deadly Russian nerve agent Novichok.
He was on his way to a flight that included prominent American politicians among the passengers.
Needless to say, LAX descends into chaos as manhunts, bomb hunts, and a crazy terrorist plot unfold.
In between acts, we learn that Ethan always wanted to be a police officer. His dream did not come true as his father's criminal history frustrated his own attempts to become a police officer.
Ethan gives up and settles for a job at TSA, trapped in a job with no ambition or direction. It wasn't a career.
This is in stark contrast to his girlfriend, who is enjoying a successful airline career.
Of course, the frolic at the airport and Ethan's heroic transformation in the face of adversity also provided him with the courage he needed to pursue his dream of becoming a police officer.
He pulled it off after the Los Angeles Police Department witnessed an incident outside the airport and his active role in it.
nice layered plot
That's the plot in a nutshell, but there's a lot more to this movie that makes it worth watching because it doesn't ask as many questions as it needs to find answers.
continue I'll show you my hand. The story and progression are predictable.
Critics have labeled the film “moderate” and perhaps not a cinematic Picasso. But before you scroll past or hesitate, know that the way Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra tells this story is very simple, fun, and easy to understand.
This is a no-nonsense approach to filmmaking that leaves critics in their rightful place.
The film shows plenty of character growth in key moments, and Egerton's performance is easy on the eyes and the audience.
He completely downplays his character, while on the other side Jason Bateman's menacing character is psychotically well-drawn.
Bateman is truly A-list in every way. His ability to be anyone he wants to be is reaffirmed in all of his television work and feature-length storytelling.
continue It really is the perfect holiday movie. There's action and no complicated subplots or sequels. It's just a timeline thriller to add some fun to your downtime.
