This is based on the 7 minute short film with the same name. The idea behind this movie isn't bad at all but the whole story is not enough for 104 minutes. It's incredibly long-winded, the longer this movie gets, the more it takes away from the simple yet clever and rather empotional resolution. Taking away the impact of it in the process. Just meh all around due to the length.

Freeman is excellent as the father trying to protect his daughter, and he is surrounded by an accomplished cast, whether they are alive or undead! Nothing original here - how can it be when there is a glut of zombie movies and tv these days - although this is less a horror movie and more of an emotional drama.

Well there’s always a first in everything. One: (Martin freeman) in an infected film, He felt out of place at times because of not being used to seeing him in that type of film but he walked it off with a dead good performance along with the rest of the cast. Two: I got emotional, at first I thought i was infected but really I cried at an infected film but i’m not surprised it got me in the feels with It’s heartwarming ending.

A hidden gem in Netflix! At certain points, the scenes seem disconnected and a bit weak, but overall the story is lovely and Martin Freeman does a great job. A lovely little poem to family love.

Well the first 15 minutes of the film don't make you think that this is a zombie film and for those of us who didn't see the trailer they kind of rely on that to use the element of surprise on the viewer.

Now, to the film, I really enjoyed the first 15 minutes, as it was kind of a slow paced act, More

Bad watch, might watch again, and can recommend for survival / zombie fans.

I'm not a big fan of Martin Freeman, but he's a decent actor, and boy do you get a lot of him. Anthony Hayes makes a decent villain, but Caren Pistorius doesn't get much else to do other than "be pretty".

Had kind of hoped for more, but this is okay. _Cargo_ isn't **exactly** like any other zombie deal out there though, so if your demands are low enough, there's some value.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.

Bit disappointed by this film. I saw the amazing short that was the basis for this film a few years ago, and it packed more punch in 7 minutes than this version packs in 105 minutes.

Everyone does their job well, the acting is uniformly good, the cinematography and setting are great. The proble More
