In Mississippi, the gangster Jack (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) is selling arms to a dangerous gang and is betrayed but saved by his partner and friend Logan (Jenna B. Kelly), who is a great sniper. Then Jack meets his girlfriend, the veterinarian Jenna (Lydia Hull), who believes he is a businessman that loves dogs. While making love with Jenna, they are surprised by Jack's former girlfriend Karen (Claire Forlani), who is a manipulative thief and is pregnant. She explains that she had double-crossed the powerful crime boss Eddie Pilosa (Bruce Willis) in a heist, and she needs to pay twelve million dollars to him. Otherwise she will be hunted down by Eddie's gang. Jack learns that he is the father of Karen's baby and still has feelings for Karen, and decides to rob a cargo of precious gems with his crew to help her. But soon he learns that he is involved in a network of betrayals.
"Precious Cargo" is a flawed and full of clichés action movie with a funny story of betrayals. The clichés and flaws are part of the funny side of the story. For example, there is no police or people working in the harbor. If the viewer watches this film without reading the bad reviews and with low expectations, he or she may be surprised with an entertaining film. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Carga Preciosa" ("Precious Cargo")
