It’s Fight or Flight for Taron Egerton
Director Jaume Collet-Serra returns to his tried and tested zone with ‘Carry-On’, a nail-biting yet bang-for-your-buck entertainer headlined by an effective Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman in a new avatar
If you are one of those die-hard cinephiles who believe Die Hard is a Christmas film (along with the first two Home Alone flicks), then Netflix’s latest offering may very well make it to that coveted list of yours. Jaume Collet-Serra, the mastermind behind some simple yet efficient nail-biting action thrillers is back and while he’s not teaming up with Liam Neeson this time, he’s got an efficient Taron Egerton and a cast-against-the-grain Jason Bateman facing it off in Carry-On.
Taron Egerton Turns Up the Heat in Netflix’s Terrific Ticking Timebomb Thriller
Starring Taron Egerton, the new Netflix thriller continues in the fine tradition of Die Hard 2: Die Harder and Phone Booth.
When Dwayne Johnson succeeds, he takes hundreds of others along for the ride with him. But when he fails — and he has, in recent years — he doesn’t go down alone. After establishing himself as something of a B-movie auteur early in his career, director Jaume Collet-Serra, like so many others in his position, accepted Hollywood’s offer to level up to the big leagues. He was appointed by Johnson as his latest lackey, but found himself responsible for directing the star’s two biggest recent bombs. These were movies — Jungle Cruise, and more calamitously, Black Adam — that significantly derailed Johnson’s career. Collet-Serra became collateral damage. But as it turns out, being relegated to the relatively forgiving realm of streaming was exactly the jolt to the system that he needed. His latest film, Carry-On, is his best in years.
