Ranking May 2018's Movies From Worst To Best
6. Cargo
RottenTomatoes Score: 84% (6.9/10)
Box Office: Straight to Netflix.
Verdict: Martin Freeman gives possibly the performance of his career in this beautifully shot, wince-inducingly bleak and ultimately affecting tale of a man struggling to protect his baby daughter amid a zombie apocalypse.
With Netflix's Originals being decidedly hit-and-miss as of late, this is just the fresh spin on a familiar idea the streaming platform needs. The world-building and general mythos leave plenty to consider once the credits roll, though you probably shouldn't hold your breath waiting for a sequel.
Above all else, Cargo is terrific proof that Freeman deserves more starring roles.
