Movies have a strange power: They prepare us for worst-case scenarios which will never happen in our real lives. I know zombies aren’t real. I even know that the modern concept of the walking dead only dates back 56 years. But I also know exactly what I’m going to do when the zombie apocalypse breaks out. I know which windows to barricade first, and which common household items would make the best improvised weapon with a judicious application of duct tape (oh crap, I’m out of duct tape — to the hardware store!).
And I’m pretty sure I know what I’ll do if I ever get a mysterious note along with an earpiece, telling me to put it in my ear immediately, which happens to Taron Egerton in “Carry-On.”
