Synopsis

Surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive squadmates, she strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees.

sushant-90119 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.
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.
Vivek Shukla Camp Xray is very beautifully acted ,directed ,shoted and composed movie . A story that needed to be told , it reveals the emotional aspect of Detainee and Guard of Guantanamo Bay . Which is indeed a very interesting thing to put on big screen .It does carry a strong message and in present that in a very beautiful emotional way . Kstew always been entitled as emotionless actress , but her recent work has shown us she is a very potential actress , but it all started back then in 2014 with Camp Xray .But real star is Peyman Moaadi, heart-touching performance. Just brilliant.Don't miss this brilliant cinematic flick at any cost .
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.
