Perfect to spice up your downtime with plenty of action and no tangled subplots.

Sometimes you just want to watch a movie that demands absolutely zero from its audience. It's just about sitting back, relaxing and letting the story take care of itself. No thinking, no figuring out whodunnit. The new Netflix thriller Carry On is all that, but not much more.

After another gritty day, week, month or year, who wants to do much else but be a couch potato, chill and wind down as much as possible.

Transportation safety agency worker Ethan Kopek, played by Taron Egerton has not had a promotion in the three years he has worked at Los Angeles International Airport or LAX.

But, on Christmas eve, he is afforded an opportunity to prove himself and is stationed at the hand baggage X-Ray check point.

What follows is an ordeal of terrorist proportions as he finds himself trapped in a deadly game of intimidation and survival.

As his shift rolls on, Kopek receives an unsettling set of instructions from a ruthless mercenary known as the Traveller aka Jason Bateman.
