Cargo Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Clark Collis
The Australian setting brings a fresh, and epic, quality to this now done-to-death genre, and the directors introduce a few nice new kinks to the zombie mythology.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Perhaps the highest compliment I can pay it is that I think George A. Romero himself would have liked it.
IndieWire
Jamie Righetti
From Romero's original zombie series to the films it inspired, this type of horror succeeds when it laces its scares with biting social commentary, and Cargo utilizes this formula to great success.
Slant Magazine
Josh Wise
Cargo makes the mistake of benching its menace, banishing the undead to blurred shots on the horizon, while doggedly pursuing its theme.
Newsweek
Andrew Whalen
Cargo doesn't often satisfy on the genre's more sensational vectors. There are no hordes, few gouts of creative gore and a limited sense of danger.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Been there, undead that.
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
Co-directors Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke (the latter of whom wrote the screenplay) sacrifice some tension with their more character-based approach, but the cumulative effect is emotionally powerful.
The Verge
Tasha Robinson
Thoomi and Andy become important to each other, but neither really understands or connects with the other in any but the shallowest ways, and the way she feels like a plot device more than an integral part of the story is a significant flaw.
Riot Material
Kristy Puchko
Ramke and Howling have created a distinctive vision of the zombie genre that's true to its Romero-cemented history of subversion, yet resists his thirst for onscreen carnage.
Variety
Nick Schager
This familiar saga eschews jolting scares for survival-esque (and dark-heart-of-man) thrills, relying largely on Freeman's compelling lead turn to set it apart from the genre.
Pajiba
Tori Preston
The horror of the film comes from its all-encompassing dread, but the journey toward that inevitable end still has room for beauty and triumph and pain and heartbreak.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
I loved it mainly for its often riveting drama, rich characterization, and stunning turn by Martin Freeman.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Plenty to admire in "Cargo," which does a different zombie stomp, finding a fresh approach to a customary story of survival, giving the norm some genuine heart and moments of futility.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
An elevated zombie thriller with a killer hook.
CinemaBlend
Conner Schwerdtfeger
Cargo is an effective horror-drama that takes a more cerebral approach to the zombie apocalypse.
Screen Rant
Sandy Schaefer
Cargo is a slow burn zombpocalypse drama that hits some familiar beats, yet there's a rich humanism at its core that makes the journey meaningful.
IGN Movies
William Bibbiani
It's an interesting, sometimes moving post-apocalyptic thriller. It's just not quite thrilling enough to get away with all of its ambitions.
Decider
Brett White
The film's greatest move, outside of casting Freeman, was narrowing the story's scale down to essentially one man and one baby and their struggle. There's real heart in that story, which makes this movie feel alive.
We Got This Covered
Luke Parker
While its Australian setting is a bit of a deviation, Cargo adds little more to the formula concocted by Romero back in the '60s and '70s.
Slashfilm
Matt Donato
I don't mean to keep throwing The Walking Dead under the spike-tired dystopian bus... [but] Cargo just does it better.
