A young German stowaway (Daniel Brühl) learns terrible secrets about a ship traveling to Europe.

Todd McCarthy

Variety

While it does hold interest, the drama's deterministic negativity is not particularly rewarding or complex.

May not be the flashiest or most intense thriller you'll see this month, but it does have a gloomy vibe, a quietly compelling story, and a few unexpected bits you may not see coming.

Eye for Film

Cargo gets scuppered by its serpentine story, which is more confusing than compelling.

Rated: 2/5

A frustrating and unsatisfying mystery, a complete waste of the cool old ship it was shot on.

Rated: D

Excellent storyline, even if somewhat similar to other popular sic-fi flicks. Great immersion in the first hour. The end of the movie drags a bit and brings it down from stellar to good.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Amidst the bad editing, there was a very unoriginal and boring-as-hell plot with uncreative ideas bubbling at every point. In no way is this a homage (which it claims to be) to sunshine or moon.

....(I have to tell you now that the first 40 minutes there's some really great stuff in there that?s worth seeing...its inspirational) then it went off in a direction I didn?t think it would?.and honestly was a bit disappointing?...BUT there?s some great visual sequences in the last third.
