In order to win back Eddie's trust, Karen recruits her ex-lover and premier thief Jack (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) to steal a cargo of rare precious gems. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Max Adams' Precious Cargo, found on IGN's YouTube:Īfter a botched heist, Eddie (Bruce Willis), a murderous crime boss, hunts down the seductive thief Karen (Claire Forlani) who failed him. I hope this is actually as fun as the trailer makes it look.

The full cast includes Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Claire Forlani, John Brotherton, Lydia Hull, Daniel Bernhardt, Ashley Kirk and Nick Loeb. There's lots of action, it looks pretty good if you just want to see some solid action, but I'm not sure about the rest of it. He plays a crime boss who hires a thief but then double crosses him and then gets tangled up in a big showdown. Altogether, other than the opening scene a very bad film."Sometimes things just don't work out." Lionsgate has debuted a trailer for the action-packed heist thriller Precious Cargo, directed by Max Adams, starring Bruce Willis as the villain. Do not expect every character in every film to be likeable when characters in numerous films purposefully aren't, but it is an issue if there are characters meant to be rootable and 'Precious Cargo' has that problem. The characters are not compelling or easy to get behind, too sketchily written and with character behaviours and traits that frustrate. What there is of the action is clumsily choreographed and routine at best, too reliant on convenience too and with not much exciting or tense. 'Precious Cargo' goes overboard on the ridiculousness and lack of plausibility and at other points it takes itself too seriously. Dialogue from the very start to the predictable climax is riddled with clichés and cheese, with toe-curling howlers aplenty, and what little there is of the story has no surprises, fun or tension, is very pedestrian in pace and fails to make sense or have signs of maturity. The direction is suggestive of inexperience, there is just no energy, momentum or finesse, the non-action oriented parts are handled so indifferently and the action is shot in a way that can be difficult to follow. The music is too loud, should have been used far less and some of the placement is inappropriate. Visually, the film does lack cohesion, is pretty sloppy in camera work and editing and the colour scheme is so unappealingly murky. The worst performance comes from Jenna B Kelly, whose performance is an awful mess of being obnoxious and generating little personality. However, for someone highly billed, Willis is used poorly (again, am seeing a pattern here), he looks tired and like he didn't want to be there. Not much redeemable here, with the best thing being the promising opening scene before the film quickly goes down south in quality and not only doesn't ever recover but it gets worse. Not hating it with pleasure, it's my honest opinion and my negative feelings towards it are regrettable. It fails in the action and thrills stakes, faring very unfavourably in relation to other films seen in the genre, lots of silliness and endless predictability. 'Precious Cargo' is a better film to that while having similar, actually even the same, faults.
'Precious Cargo' is yet another not good representation of him, if not as bad as 'Vice' and especially 'Reprisal'.
Expectations were not high though, because Willis has been past prime for a while (several bad films and has looked tired and disengaged a lot) and has been in a lot of stinkers lately. The title and poster also intrigued and similarly the idea for the story sounded sort of interesting, despite a lack of originality. Saw 'Precious Cargo' because Bruce Willis has done good films and given good performances in the past, 'Die Hard' is a genre landmark and his performance is iconic in that.
