Christmas keeps suiting thrillers, dark comedies, and odd genre hybrids for a reason. Twinkling lights, family tension, and gunfire make the irony hit harder and raise the stakes at the same time. Carry-On leans into that setup with Taron Egerton as TSA agent Ethan Kopek, who gets blackmailed on Christmas Eve<\/strong> by Jason Bateman\u2019s Traveler into waving a nerve agent through airport security, in a scenario that feels cut from the same cloth as Die Hard 2.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re in the mood for something beyond Nakatomi Plaza, Violent Night<\/a> and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are both worth picking up. Tommy Wirkola\u2019s 2022 Santa brawler Violent Night, led by David Harbour, mixed sentiment with gore, pulled in $76.6 million<\/strong> on a $20 million budget, and now has a sequel set for December 4, 2026 from Harbour, Wirkola, Pat Casey, and Josh Miller that might draw from Miracle on 34th Street and westerns. Then there\u2019s Shane Black\u2019s 2005 Christmas-in-LA neo-noir Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, with Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer, which became a cult favorite, helped jolt Downey Jr.\u2019s career back to life, and carries the same holiday instinct Black brought to Lethal Weapon.<\/p>\n\n
