Credits

Rated: R; Genres: Crime, Suspense; With: Chris Penn

It's fun watching Penn throw his weight around as the affable hero, but no amount of swagger can keep Sacred Cargofrom resembling a depressing travelogue of St. Petersburg. Besides, any mystery is 86'd by the presence of J.T. Walsh, who always plays the bad guy — even in Russia. D
