Carry-On (movie 2024) my wayward TSA officer

Or not. Seriously. Because this was just nonsense. Very much in keeping with how action movies are these days.
Though reviewed last, Carry-On was my first Christmas movie of this season.  It was nice to see Taron Edgerton's handsome mug again, though honestly, I just expect him to sing now since he does it so well. Instead of singing, he mostly runs on this movie and occasionally disables bombs here.
Taron. who at 35, uncharacteristically for show business, looks his age, plays a 30-year-old Ethan, who works in airport security after tanking his police academy exams. But now that he's knocked up his girlfriend, who also conveniently works at the same airport, he decides to step up his game and asks for more responsibility. It's Christmas, and he seems sincere, so his boss gives him an opportunity. One that puts him directly in the crosshairs of a mercenary determined to sabotage the flight. 
The latter doesn't have a name. Billed simply as traveler, he is played by Jason Bateman, who is branching out to playing bad guys now, but is still very much himself: a fit, well-coiffed, fast talking glib charmer of a certain age.
The two are at odds the entire movie until its dramatically nonsensical and terrible predictable ending. 
And to celebrate that ending, a year later, Ethan, now a cop, takes his girlfriend and their new baby to Tahiti. Because yes, these are exactly the kind of people who would bring a baby on an eight-hour flight.
Fast-paced and mindless, taking liberties with both logistics and TSA procedures, it is sure to be a hit with the majority of lamentably indiscriminate Netflix viewers.
