This is the one Netflix movie I’m watching on Father’s Day — and it’s a gripping apocalyptic thriller with heart

Father’s Day is here, and like every year, the question of what to watch inevitably comes up. My dad and I don’t exactly have a long list of traditional movies as we usually lean toward gritty thrillers, sci-fi flicks, or anything post-apocalyptic (bonus points if it involves zombies).

His first suggestion was actually “Cloverfield.” It’s a great sci-fi flick for sure, but we’ve both seen it more than a few times. I told him to pick something he hadn’t seen for once, and after a few minutes of scrolling, he landed on “Cargo,” which still fits our tastes. I’d seen it back when I first wrote about it as a great watch for anyone excited about “28 Years Later,” and I remember really enjoying it. So I was pretty keen to revisit it.
