Carry On is extremely disposable entertainment, but it is entertaining, which matters most. I thought it got a little silly when The Traveler told his assistant to eliminate the hero's girlfriend and he could find her in the crowded airport without much effort. Cutting it down to 90 minutes would have made this better, but it's pretty good.
I am not familiar with LAX (or whichever airport it takes place in? I think it's LAX) but it seemed odd that they would be able to get a sniper in reliable position to take out one specific employee who may be anywhere inside the building, but that's a minor quibble you kind of have to let go of, along with the generally convoluted scheme.
My problem with the movie is that it doesn't have a strong enough lead, one that can match Bateman's performance. It's like if, in "Die Hard", Alan Rickman was facing off against Zach Galligan.

I enjoyed it. It's 1000% Bateman's movie.

Also afterward I watched Die Hard 2.

Yeah, he's good enough rather than being legitimately good.
