Critic Reviews for Precious Cargo

All Critics (22) | Top Critics (10) | Rotten (22)

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.

Wendy Ide
Observer (UK)
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.

Bruce Willis should really know better.

A straight-to-video nightmare is all that's on offer here.

Bullets fly, curses are hurled, Willis threatens some chumps.

Tom Huddleston
Time Out
Two late-80s icons go head-to-head in Precious Cargo: Die Hard's Bruce Willis and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. If that latter name doesn't, um, ring a bell, think Zack Morris. It's the onscreen match absolutely nobody asked for.

NOW Toronto
In its dialogue and not-exactly-enlightened attitude toward women it almost plays like a satire of b-movies.

Richard Crouse
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.

[A] contender for blandest heist movie ever made.

An absolute waste of time and an insult to action cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

What persuaded Bruce Willis to accept a role in this cheap-looking, poorly scripted, irredeemably derivative crime thriller is a question only he, and his agent, can answer.

Brian Viner
Daily Mail (UK)
Adams stages the opening speedboat chase with aplomb, but the shootouts are much more formulaic and rely heavily on the laughable inaccuracy of the gang's adversaries and sassy sharpshooter Jenna Kelly's penchant for skimpy outfits.
