This film was overall enjoyable. I thought the relationship between Andy, his baby, and Thoomie was portrayed well and I felt emotion from it. I cannot say the same from Andy and his wife. I felt there was a lack of chemistry between the two. I like the lack of explanation about the illness on a larger scale. Its very mysterious and it doesn't draw away from the main points. I'd give this movie like a 5.5/ 10. It dragged at moments and I just didn't find it very captivating but the film itself had many upsides and was watchable.

We've seen countless zombie apocalypse movies. Most of them fall back on the same tired cliches, not to mention some of the worst acting you'll ever see. It's great to find a movie that turns the tables and actually delivers a gripping survival tale with heart and great acting.The movie is definitely a dark one though. So don't go in expecting the usual "happily ever after in the apocalypse" ending so many of these movies end up with. This is serious, painful and intense. And it does an amazing job of pulling at your heartstrings.Martin Freeman gives us a truly epic performance and deserves a boatload of awards for his role in this film. If you like dark, gritty movies, tales of survival against insane odds or simply movies about someone trying to find a way to continue when everything seems hopeless... this movie is a must watch.

REVIEW - CARGOI've been waiting and waiting for such a long time to finally get an opportunity to see this film. As far as I know never released as a film in cinemas here in the UK but was on general release in Australia, why Australia? Because the film is set in the outback. It is available through Netflix.Without giving too much away, the film is a lovely twist on the usual Zombie plague that for whatever reason has swept around the world and how a father tries to save his daughter from his impending......... by attempting to find an uninfected family to give her to and what he encounters along the way, which shows the true range of humanity, from the caring stranger to the sadistic individual trying to make a profit from the worlds suffering and using other people and Zombies to do it.This is actually a Zombie film that doesn't actually rely on Zombies because the story is interesting enough, but of course you do ned the Zombies to hang the story on.Martin Freeman (yes Holmes from Sherlock) is great in this film, personally I thing one of his best yet.Can be slow in places, not very scary, except for what we humans can do to each other, in fact I see the film as a reflection on daily life with the Zombies being crime and disorder and the path we are all taking to find a way to look after ourselves and our families.Are you a caring stranger or sadistic individual?Rating 8 out of 10

This is a movie about a father doing his best to take care of his infant daughter under the worst possible circumstances. Yes, it takes place after a zombie apocalypse and you will see some of them, but that isn't the focus of the film. The film is about happens to the survivors of a catastrophe. As in life, some become violent, some protective, and some form communities with other survivors. There are spots where the film dragged and it clearly could have been cut to 90 minutes. Still, the story is engaging, the acting is enjoyable, and it is definitely worth watching.
