Critic Reviews
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
What could have been a typically didactic message film instead resonates with thoughtful humanity.
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
The film leans almost exclusively on the focused performances of its two leads, who create a credibly barbed chemistry that goes a long way toward distracting us from the film's low-budget deficiencies.
-
Andrew Schenker, Village Voice
With the certainty of bad melodrama, Cargo moves gradually into superficial moral complexity, an inevitable display of heroics, and the perfunctory title card ensuring us that sex slavery is indeed a real-life problem.
-
Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru
Suspenseful and captivating albeit not as unflinchingly horrifying as it could have been.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
An intense drama about human trafficking and the yearning for freedom.
