TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Vonia Camp X-Ray (2014) Guantanamo Bay, No easy place to portray. Kristen Stewart shows through her stiff, solemn style, One person makes a difference. Though that may be true, Characters remain distant, Forgettable, slow, Lost potential, I advise fast forward to final scene. (Somonka is a Japanese form of poetry that is essentially two tankas, the second stanza a response to the first. Each stanza follows a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable pattern. Traditionally, each is a love letter. This form usually demands two authors, but it is possible to have a poet take on two personas. My take will be a love letter to a film?) #Somonka #PoemReview

Grayson 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.

dale-51649 The movie is about a young , low level female soldier from a small town. She is assigned to Guantanamo as a guard, and against rules, begins talking to and developing a friendship with a detainee. The set up has every reason to result in a really bad, cliché American film. I give great praise to the filmmakers for not falling into the predictable trap. You know the one "The girl guard rises above sexist insults to become the best of all the soldiers, kicking one of the bad guys in the testicles along the way". Instead, they actually made a good movie. Instead of pandering, they showed the woman as a flawed human being, a nice gal , but a victim of some of her own poor choices. For example , she invites an obvious jerk into the john with her at a party, and he ends up getting too rough. They are not implying she deserved it, but that she should have known better. Stewart does a good job as the hard working guard , who just "sucks it up" when she hits unfairness. They also allow her to make mistakes , like talking to a prisoners at all. The tension builds toward the end where one of the guard /detainee pair is going to do something drastic, and the other tries to help. It unfolds in an original way. I appreciate a movie where the male is not pure evil and the female is not pure good; people, and life are more complicated than that.

John Cheavers I rated Camp X-ray a 4/10 because the acting was good. But take away the solid performances from Peyman Moaadi and the supporting cast and all your left with is just another Hollywood liberal fantasy smear campaign. And don't let all the positive reviews for Kristen Stewart fool you. It's the exact same Kristen Stewart that did the vampire movies, it's just this time she is in a movie that the liberal Hollywood critics love. Watch the movie if you think Kristen Stewart is cute. Watch it because of Peyman Moaadi's good performance. But if Hollywood's liberal political agenda sickens you like it does me, give this one a pass.
