If only this thriller were as imaginative as the folks who thought Martin Sheen and Chris Penn could play brothers. The creative casting can't save this boring tale about an ex-Marine (Penn) and a priest (Sheen, of course) smuggling millions in church jewels out of Russia while mixing with neo-Nazis and double-crossers. 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
