After Carry-On, this Liam Neeson film from 10 years ago is a must-watch while it's still on Netflix

The latest film from Netflix Hand luggage is an exciting new thriller with a Christmas setting reminiscent of Christmas action films Die Hard, and the lead role of Lian Neeson Non-stop. Hand luggage The film stars Taron Egerton as a TSA agent who becomes unintentionally embroiled in a conspiracy to smuggle a nerve agent onto a plane through airport security. The action thriller creates tense scenes between Egerton’s Ethan and Jason Bateman’s The Traveler as each tries to outsmart the other, resulting in this Hand luggageis the exciting final battle scene.

Hand luggage is also a great reminder of watching a movie about 10-year-old Liam Neeson this is strikingly similar. Non-stop is another action film set on a plane with similar action and main characters, making it great to watch Hand luggage. Both films are action-packed and use their actors to make the sequences where they try to find the villain even more exciting. Both films were successful in their own way Non-stop Box office gross of $222.8 million on a budget of $50 million (via Box office mojo) And Hand luggage has a strong critic rating of 86% Rotten tomatoes.

“Non-Stop” is a perfect sequel to watching “Carry-On.”

Non-stop and carry-on luggage are a perfect pair

After watching Hand luggage Neeson’s 2014 film Non-stop is a perfect sequel as it almost feels like an extension of the newer film with slightly higher stakes and a more claustrophobic setting. Hand luggage takes place mostly in an airport, only the climax of the film takes place on the plane, but Non-stop mostly takes place during a flight. Actually, the premise of Non-stop actually makes sense as a sequel Hand luggage, because in it Neeson’s character Bill Marks tries to prevent a bomb from exploding on a plane.

Carry-On is almost entirely a remake of the Liam Neeson-directed thriller from six years ago (and that’s not a bad thing)

Carry-On is the latest film from director Jaume Collet-Serra, and the film actually bears incredible resemblance to another hit from a few years ago.

Like the tension that arises in it Hand luggage As Ethan tries to locate and stop the traveler, Non-stop exploits a similar thrill as Bill tries to find the perpetrators of the blackmail and the bomb on a flying plane en route to London. Also, Hand luggage And Non-stop Both were directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, so it stands to reason that their styles are very similar. However, Non-stop is leaving Netflix at the end of December, so fans should take advantage of the pairing while they can.

“Carry-On” is very similar to a Liam Neeson action film

Taron Egerton’s character fits perfectly into the Liam Neeson-style action film

Hand luggage feels like a spiritual sequel to Liam Neeson’s action film and is intentional. Far beyond their shared director. Collet-Serra made four action thrillers with Neeson. It is natural that the protagonist of Hand luggage is very similar to the characters Neeson plays in this director’s other films. Collet-Serra and Neeson also worked together in 2011 Unknown2015s Run all nightand 2018 The commuter, Manufacturing Non-stop the second of their fruitful collaboration.

Both Ethan and Bill happen to have past experience and knowledge that allows them to ultimately outsmart the villains, making for a very entertaining film.

In addition to the same creative mind behind the camera, the characters of Bill Marks and Ethan Kopek themselves are quite similar in personality and skills. Both men are simply trying to go about their daily lives and do their jobs when they are thrust into the role of hero. When their families are threatened, both will stop at nothing to save them and as many other innocent people as possible. Additionally, both Ethan and Bill happen to have past experience and knowledge that allows them to ultimately outsmart the villains, making for a very entertaining film.

Carry-On 2 was supposed to cast Liam Neeson

Neeson could be reversing his usual role in Carry-On 2

Liam Neeson fires a gun at a plane in “Non-Stop.”

Egerton has expressed interest in returning Hand luggage Continuation is possible as long as the plot is creative and runs organically. If Hand luggage 2 If that happens, Neeson should make an appearance, which would mark another collaboration between the director (who would also hopefully return) and the actor. However, since the end of Hand luggage shows that Ethan has finally become a police officer like he always dreamed of. The best way to include Neeson might be to play a villain. This makes for something more original for this collaboration.

A sequel must avoid this mistake that ruined the Die Hard franchise

Taron Egerton has expressed interest in a Carry-On sequel, but a sequel must avoid the mistake that ultimately doomed the Die Hard series.

In contrast to his other roles, in which the audience wants to rave about him even when he’s morally gray, casting Neeson as an outright villain is the perfect antithesis to his typical action figures. Hand luggage 2 could continue to delve into the exciting aspects of Ethan’s character while also setting new standards with his growing family and a very compelling villain in Liam Neeson, who is different from his usual roles. The audience should also expect when Hand luggageThe ending is so well designed that the story can be continued in the future.
