Netflix has quite the collection of American thrillers at hand. From suspenseful and nail-biting premises of Non-Stop, Red Eye and Leave the World Behind, and much more to take a look at. Carry-On seems to be another interesting thriller slash action flick. And its worthiness is not marked by its mere presence on the platform, but also by a good amount of evidence for quality that it has gotten back-up with in recent times. 

Regardless of a cast that may not appear very promptly on the blockbuster screens, and never mind the absence of the gilded charm of an accoladed piece of film, Carry-on carries with it a different kind of badge. 

 A fast-paced bolting series of mishaps that string together a TSA agent's adventure through an airport, out of all possible places, T. J Fixman's Carry-On very well did not enter any prominent awards that could have brought it timelessness and prestige, but what it did gain was a concrete and unbreakable viewership. With over 171 million views on the streaming giant, Carry-On has been tagged as the second-biggest movie of the platform in all its time, and TJ Fixman, the man behind the miracle, could not have been any more grateful for the same.

With the cast comprising of Sofia Carson, Taron Egerton and the Jason Bateman with his natural prowess for threading out the laughter from a spectator's stomach, promises an atypical villain to this story, the amount of success the film received on its debut was massive enough for a sequel to be in the talks as well. Creating a butterfly-effect-like buzz of a positive streak throughout the platform.

Jason Bateman Starrer ‘Carry-On’ Breaks Major Netflix Record for 2024 With Fans’ Support

The Carry-On's groundbreaking success for a movie that has remained unawarded is a wonder to be studied in the cinematic world, not just for itself, but a deal breaker to its performers as well. 

With its release in December of 2024, Carry-On argues to be Jason Bateman's second career breakthrough at the actor's age, a villainous portfolio, to put it a certain way. Playing the role of a mysterious traveler responsible for the central mayhem of the film, and despite his character's eventual unfortunate destiny, writer of the flick TJ Fixman is said to have Bateman chosen for his likeability even when he is presenting himself rudely.

Carry-On stands out as a gripping Netflix thriller, despite lacking traditional blockbuster charm. With over 171 million views, it ranks as one of Netflix's biggest films, the success of Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, and Jason Bateman's atypical villain role has sparked sequel discussions. Carry-On showcases how quality storytelling can achieve massive viewership without awards, marking a significant milestone in Netflix's lineup and Jason Bateman's career.
