Carry-On is a new action thriller that stars Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, and is currently streaming on Netflix. Here’s details of the movie’s very festive soundtrack, as well as Lorne Balfe’s score.

Carry-On follows in the footsteps of one of the best action movies of all time, by being set in a single location at Christmas, and pitting one man against a group of terrorists.

Indeed we wrote in our Carry-On review that the movie is “wildly derivative” of the Die Hard movies, “but also pretty entertaining until the paper-thin plot runs out of runway.”
