Not bad but not brilliant
Bruce Willis seems to be doing bit parts in everything these days, he was barely in this one. Unusually he played the baddy (not a spoiler it's obvious very early on) fairly convincingly but it wasn't his greatest performance.Mark-Paul Gosselaar was pretty good as the lead I thought and I absolutely loved Jenna B Kelly's ballsy and grumpy performance as the sniper. She was the stand out actor in this for me. Claire Forlani was just to skinny and face-lifted for me to take seriously I'm afraid, it isn't attractive what these actors do to themselves to 'stay young', they must be under such pressure to do so. She even had the beginnings of a pout trout. Had she not gone so far with it she would be incredibly attractive, as it is she done herself no favours.All in all it was a pretty good heist movie and I did enjoy it, just don't expect too much if you are a Bruce Willis fan.

Superb Heist movie!
Mark-Paul Gosselaar is Jack, a thief who specialises in action-led cons. His only problem is that he is as soft as butter around women. Enter his hot-as-hell manipulative ex Karen (Clare Forlani). While he is in bed with his current girlfriend. She is visibly pregnant and tells him that it's his, and that she is on the run from psycho mob boss Eddie (Bruce Willis). Then the bad guys arrive and all hell breaks loose.Now that''s a good start to a movie! Precious Cargo is superb. The script and dialogue are clever, sassy and the story never stops moving. Jenna B. Kelly as Logan, Jack' right-hand man, has a wonderful deadpan delivery. She had a couple of wonderful scenes where her IDGAF attitude made me laugh out loud.Precious Cargo twists and turns until you are not sure who is the bigger menace, Psycho Eddie or the narcissistic grasping Karen. The film does not let up and the finale is excellent. So many good characters, so much in the story, well directed. I am going to watch this again, I am sure there were things I missed. Excellent fresh filmmaking, actors doing their best work, lots of fun. Recommended.

Not Bruce Willis's finest hour
Slow at times with rent-a-criminal thugs on both sides of the plot to steal pink diamonds. Not surprisingly, the women play the meanest and toughest characters, Willis is not in the film that much for the only name actor in the cast. The action is good, especially at the end, hence three stars, but the plot predictable. Go and watch something better.

Really Enjoyed
Ignore the negative reviews. Don't take life to seriously, this was in the style of a Bruce Willis movie, apart from Bruce being the baddy and the lead action figure being Mark-Paul Gosselaa.... who was brilliant. Humour, action, good acting, top stunts...what more do you need :-)
