One day, Anthony Peterson (Ron Thompson) wakes up locked into a cargo
container, with a cellphone being his only contact to the outside world.
And he receives a call from someone claiming to be his kidnapper (Eliot),
who warns him to not call the authorities or anyone to facilitate his
release, otherwise he and his wife (Danika Fields), who's held somewhere
else, will be killed. The kidnapper asks for a ransom of 10 million
Dollars, and he gives Anthony only 24 hours to come up with the money,
without of course being allowed to leave the container. Now that's not as
impossible as it sounds, as Anthony is a man of means, and he calls his
most trusted assistant Tom (Mark Wood) to sell of his assets and the like
- but he still falls short of the money asked, and that's when Anthony
comes up with crazier and crazier ideas, ideas that actually put Tom in
lots of danger, and it's suggested that he's not quite the innocent victim
he makes himself out to be ... [Cargo] is quite a
remarkable film: Filmed 100% inside container with only one person (Ron
Thompson) on screen, and him being in almost every single shot, the whole
things still stays totally interesting, tense and suspenseful throughout,
thanks not only to a brilliant script that succeeds in blurring the lines
between good and evil quite a bit, but also to a great performance of Thompson, and let's not forget the very dynamic camerawork by Christopher
Gosch, that often, and successfully, mimics the off-screen action we
otherwise only get second hand over the phone. Quite a watch indeed!
