Review of Cargo

Cargo (I) (2017)
6/10
Fascinating concept, underwhelming execution
10 May 2020
Cargo was a very intriguing but also frustrating viewing experience. This rather reticent depiction of a zombie apocalypse was refreshingly novel and outback Australia was a perfect setting for it. The story was a bit slow-moving and let down by some fairly dubious acting, with Martin Freeman feeling particularly miscast in his role. The ending was cleverly constructed but the final outcome of the movie felt a little trite and didn't really flow with the rest of the film. This was close to being a sneaky masterpiece but just felt a little cheap and rushed in places.
