girl in a box!

    I'm goin' dvd rentin' crazy with this blueticket blockbuster bullshit card!! I'm just grabbin' dvd's willy nilly and I grabbed CARGO. And once again I did not get the gorefest I was lookin' for. In fact there is no gore at all and only 1 killin'. CARGO though , is one of the better movie I have gotten from Blockbuster and just one of the better movies I have seen period. The cover made it look like a torture/porn , which is a subgenre name I don't like , but CARGO is closer to drama and could probably come out on the LIfetime channel.
    The story is a Russian gal comes to the U.S. to start a new life but is tricked into the sextrade and thrown into a van to be taken to New York. The driver is a swarthy Arab dude and the bulk of the movie is what happens between them. And that is what makes the movie good. I felt sorry for the girl and didn't totally hate the Arab guy and together they carry the movie and had me interested until the end. And there is a badguy that comes out in the beginning and the end and he was good and very hateable and very good in his small role.
    The dvd cover was very misleading and if I had known what the movie was about I would not have rented it but I did enjoy it but do not recommend it if you are like me and looking for the next PUNISHER:Warzone and RAMBO 4. But I did enjoy it for what it was. *arty
