Simply Perfect
People are voting emotionally.
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
If you have any doubt regarding Kristen Stewart's acting skills, then this movie will make you rethink your stance. This movie is pulled forward mainly due to the brilliant performances by the two leads. I personally believe that the movie has hidden many dark things that happen at gitmo especially the tortures that the detainees have endured including those who were innocent but arrested based on suspicion. So the story does no feel legit. But since it is a movie, i can let that pass. The final moments of the movie were emotional and would bring tears. This movie is really good and is a bit underrated for its story and the performance by the actors.
Quite simply put, this movie is a world away from the political grandstanding of utter dross like American Sniper. Instead of attempting to paint a black and white picture of a situation, the film shows it for what it actually is. That is, shades of grey.Having served both within a correctional environment and the military, the interplay between all characters is quite superb, instead of the sensationalist, simplistic garbage one usually expects from the genre.I'll be the first to admit that I was genuinely interested to see how Stewart fared in this film, given the woeful start to her career with the vacuous characters of teen angst she's played and I am happily overjoyed at her rise to actual acting. Her character is multi- faceted, believable and vulnerable.Moaadi gives his role the gravitas it deserves and shows an understanding of his craft that many A-list celebrities could learn from.In short, without spoilers, this is a superb film deserving of so much more that it will get by way of recognition, but suffice to say, I will now reconsider watching movies starring Miss Stewart in the future and look forward to watching more of both Peyman Moaadi and Peter Sattler's works.As a further note to this brilliant movie, to those who think that Kristen Stewart's character is too damaged to be a believable soldier, I suggest watching "Standard Operating Procedure" and check out the real life waste-of-space PFC Lynndie England and co. IF she were a character in a movie, I'm fairly confident the self-same armchair generals would bleat and whine about how 'unrealisitic' her character and those of her compatriots were.
Excellent performances by Stewart and Moaadi, i have never care enough or take the time to "review" a movie, but in this case i really had too , this movie was so good and so real wow, at first i thought it would be some US propaganda that they are the good guys but in the end i have no idea who is right or wrong anymore i only know how pointless the War and in this case GITMO is.The movie was totally worth my time and i recommend everyone to watch it.
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.
