Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Precious Cargo is a rip-off and a rerun.
Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail
Rotten
This lazily directed and sloppily written heist non-thriller unspools like one of those amusement park distractions where tourists play at being in a movie.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
The stupid plot, dismal dialogue, moral turpitude and dispiriting torpor of this movie makes watching it utterly pointless.
Bruce Kirkland, Toronto Sun
Rotten
You will be hard-pressed to remember anything about it even only a few minutes after watching it, which should come as a relief to everyone involved with its production.
