Watch Precious Cargo For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

best movie i've ever seen.

Awesome Movie

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I've never seen a film with such bad shots !! Shot after shot and not a chance of hitting anything . Problem is all those bangs and it's still boring !! Never mind straight to DVD , straight to the bin

Giving this movie one star...is one star too many for a dud like this. Without a doubt, this is every cast member's worst film in their career, even for the newbies. I just hope Bruce Willis, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, and Claire Forlani received very large paychecks. I can't imagine how anyone can sit through the entire film, To be honest, I could not. The film went downhill after the opening credits. I wished I had stopped viewing then. Poor script, poor directing, and mediocre acting at best. The action sequences were absolutely atrocious. I've always believed that every film has some redeeming quality, now I know otherwise. Do yourself a favor, pass on this one. Those that didn't...and left a review higher than one star...should go back to their day jobs...and stay there!

In the past few years, Bruce Willis has found himself in a series of direct-to-DVD action flicks that have come out of nowhere. Some of these have been terrible, while others have been mildly watchable, but none of them have been necessarily deserving of Bruce Willis' talent. Precious Cargo, while certainly not a great film by any means, is definitely the best of Willis' recent crop of features, and certainly a whole lot better than its Rotten Tomatoes score would imply. It's neither a disaster or an undiscovered gem. It's simply a fun 90 minutes. I suppose it was inevitable that I would enjoy Precious Cargo. As a fan of both Bruce Willis when he's in action movies and Mark-Paul Gosselarr in pretty much anything, I was probably bound to get some enjoyment out of the flick no matter what. It's entirely due to the two stars that Precious Cargo is the fun watch that it ends up being. To director/co-writer Max Adams credit, he doesn't have the two stars play their usual predictable roles. Bruce Willis is not playing a John Mcclane type, and Mark-Paul Gosselarr is not playing a Zack Morris type. Willis plays the bad guy here, and while he doesn't quite chew the scenery, his performance is not exactly subtle. He knows he's not acting in something that was going to win him an Oscar, so he isn't afraid to occasionally go a bit over the top. Really though, Willis is more of a supporting character. The real lead is Gosselaar, the hero of the story, and he successfully brings his two-dimensional character to life with natural charisma and charm.There's a lot of jokes/one liners in the film, ones that could have been downright groan-worthy, but Gosselaar sells them as legitimately funny. Other actors in the film aren't so lucky, and deliver some horribly bad dialogue that they look absolutely embarrassed to be uttering.Precious Cargo obviously didn't have a huge budget and parts of it are quite cheesy, but that's a big part of its overall charm. The action scenes, despite not being particularly innovative, are well shot and edited in a much better fashion than 95% of the action pictures that are given a throwaway VOD release. The action scenes are the highlight of the film, and are generally cool to watch with limited CGI. However, other production values are not as strong. The cinematography is way too orange for my liking, though it's never quite distracting enough to ruin my enjoyment of the overall film. The music also could have been a lot stronger. The entire score feels like it supposed to be temporary for a test screening or rough cut but was never changed. At least the music itself is never terrible or completely overbearing.Precious Cargo is no classic. It is nowhere near the top of the list of best Bruce Willis movies, or even the best of action movies released in the past six months, though it is still quite entertaining, despite some of its lesser production values and cringe-worthy moments of bad dialogue. It's a quick 90 minutes of fun action, a stupid plot, and a few intentional and unintentional laughs. If this were a wide theatrical release, I'd give this a 5, but as its one of the better VOD/direct-to-DVD releases I've seen recently, I'm giving it a 6 out 10. Recommended to action fans.

A few weeks have passed, and that of course means we get yet another movie from the sausage factory that is of schlock producers Randall Emmett and George Furla. This is yet another effort of theirs that stars Bruce Willis. Well, actually it's hard to say that he "stars" in this movie, because once again he appears in a movie where it's clear he knocked off his few scenes in just a couple or so days of shooting.It's just as well, because Willis gives yet another lazy performance that further shows he doesn't give much of a darn to his few remaining fans these days. Actually, Willis' sleepwalking comes across as Olivier compared to some of the other actors. It was hard to say who gives the worst performance in the movie, but ultimately I give the award to Jenna B. Kelly, who plays Logan. She doesn't seem to be trying at all to add emotion or any other signs of acting to her lines.In fairness to Kelly and the rest of the cast, they have to deal with a screenplay that is packed with gawd-awful lines of dialogue that even the best thespians would have difficult selling to an audience. What's worse is that some of these lines of dialogue are intended to be funny, and not only are they not funny, they seem to be mocking the audience who is watching this movie.As for the (limited) action, it's routine at best, and flat and uninteresting at its worst. You may be wondering if there is ANYTHING good to say about this movie. Well, some of the camera-work does impress at times - I wasn't expecting the sometimes elaborate moves by the camera for a straight to DVD movie such as this. Especially one that is bad in every other way you can think of.
