Camp X-Ray (2014)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Great movie and I hope they end that Nazi detention base

Peyman Moaadi and Kristen Stewart give phenomenal performances. The story is well written. This is a really well done case study of the inner turmoil and complicated relationship between detainee and guard. I was sucked in almost immediately and couldn't turn away. The writing, the directing, the acting are all top notch.I probably could have done without the boat scene. It did serve a purpose but not enough that I would have left it in. It kind of seemed almost out of place. Like it belonged in Jarheads.The best compliment I can give a movie is that it left me wanting to go back to the beginning and watch it all again, and I did.

It is a very different kind of movie but it was definitely worth my time. So amazing. It made me cry. You can watch this on Netflix. It is amazing. There is not a lot of action but I think it will be a satisfying watch for all viewers. <3 love compassion humanity humility, I am making 10 lines worth even though I believe my review enough. It does not need 10 lines because it is a very compelling movie. I am making 10 lines worth even though I believe my review enough.

Review: I really enjoyed this movie because of the emotional content, and the fact that it shows the different sides to war but I can't see it going down well with Americans or anyone who is victims of terrorism. I think that audiences would have had more sympathy for Ali (Payman Maadi), if they knew if he was guilty or not, and I was surprised that he was able to have them in depth conversations with Cole (Kristen Stewart), with so many inmates close by. Anyway, the performances were great, especially from Payman Maadi, and the unique storyline did touch an emotional cord. Because of the political status about Guantanamo Bay and the fact that the world has mixed reviews about it, I'm not surprised that this film was kept under the radar. The director really did push the barriers by making a film about a relationship between an inmate and a guard but I liked the way that he showed an human side to a soldier, who could have easily felt remorse towards Ali after he covered her in poop. For a film that is mainly about 2 people, I really did enjoy it, and I have to commend Kristen Stewart for taking on a project that is completely out of her comfort zone. Enjoyable! Round-Up: Kristen Stewart, 26, first hit the big screen in 2002, in Panic room, playing Jodie Fosters daughter and then she went on to star in Cold Creek Manor, Zahara, Into The Wild and What Just Happened but she is mostly known for her role as Bella in the Twilight franchise. Since then, she has become an household name but I personally think that she acts the same in all of her movies, even though she has covered many genres. Anyway, this is the first film written and directed by Peter Sandler, who made this small film, interesting throughout. Kristen Stewart wouldn't have been my first choice to play a soldier but she completely transformed herself, which, surprisingly, worked. Budget: $1million Worldwide Gross: $61,000 (Terrible)I recommend this movie to people who are into their war/drama movies starring Kristen Stewart, Peyman Moaadi, Lane Garrison, Tara Holt, John Carroll Lynch and Anoop Simon. 6/10
