Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Jul 17, 2016
1/5
This production clearly ploughed all its budget into a few slick action sequences and the cameo from Willis. It's a pity the film-makers didn't invest in the screenplay. Go to Full Review

1/5
The film is fun in its own cheesy way, reminiscent of straight to video action movies of the Eighties but scarcely deserves a cinema release. Go to Full Review

Bruce Willis should really know better. Go to Full Review

2/5
In its dialogue and not-exactly-enlightened attitude toward women it almost plays like a satire of b-movies. Go to Full Review
Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) Oct 20, 2017
1/5
The acting is as underwhelming as the screenplay is under-polished and, although the action does pick up towards the end, there is an underlying misogyny that leaves a distinctly nasty taste. Go to Full Review

Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 9, 2026 Precious Cargo is an incredibly weak action movie that feels like it’s trying way too hard to imitate better films without bringing anything original to the table. The whole experience comes off like a cheap attempt to capture the energy of classic action thrillers, but it never gets close. The script is painfully thin, filled with predictable dialogue and characters that barely leave an impression. The action scenes lack tension and creativity, making everything feel flat instead of exciting. Even the cast seems stuck with material that gives them very little to work with. Overall, the movie ends up feeling forgettable, lazy, and frustratingly uninspired. Between the weak writing, weak action, and weak performances, there’s almost nothing here worth remembering. I’d rate it a 0/10.

See more Victor O @RT45890256 Jul 3, 2023 I enjoy straight-to-video fare when there is nothing grade-A to watch. The fact that this has actors I recognize makes me both sad but also eager because I loved them back when they were uber-famous. Bruce Willis, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Claire Forlani, Daniel Bernhardt, Torrie Wilson, etc. Jack is low level mercenary/thief who is enjoying his life in Florida, getting his life on the straight and narrow but an old flame back when he was young and dumb comes back after she screws up a job betraying a powerful mobster. With a crew at his disposal, he helps out his old flame only to realize she has betrayed him, as well as leaving him at the mercy of the mobster. This was not great, but it had some fun moments. Like a low-rent Oceans 11 with hilarity as well as danger. I still find it hard to believe that such icons from yesteryears came together to do straight-to-video flair. In their heyday, some of these men and women could have made a blockbuster. See more Read all reviews
