Camino (2015) Reviews
A pretty solid, underrated survival thriller
As I'm writing this, Camino has a score of 4.8, which is an excessively low score. I've actually noticed a trend on IMDb where a lot of films are given extremely poor ratings when they're just not that bad and Camino is definitely one of these films. It's unfortunate because I know some people will watch or not watch a film based on the IMDb score, which means a lot of good or decent movies are probably being missed out on. A lot of other reviewers are complaining of bad acting, but I can only assume they are exaggerating or just haven't watched a wide range of films. The acting is not "bad" - it's not necessarily award-winning stuff, but it's certainly not bad. Usually, if I'm watching a film with bad acting, I find it difficult to get into as I can't become absorbed in it and am constantly aware that I'm watching (bad) actors, but that never happened once to me while watching Camino. I think Zoe Bell is actually very impressive for a stunt-woman-turned- actress. Also, do not skip the first ten minutes of the film as another reviewer said, it is relevant to the film and what happens during the first ten minutes helps to make sense of another scene that happens around midway through the film. The only thing I would criticize is that Zoe Bell's character seems a little too skilled in combat for a photojournalist going up against militia members who've presumably had experience in guerilla warfare. It's saved, though, by the fact that most of the fighting lacks any crazy martial arts moves on Zoe Bell's part and instead sticks to dirty, survival style fighting, maintaining an element of realism. Overall, I think this movie is pretty solid and I've definitely seen a lot worse.
The Columbian Hunger Games
SPOILER ALERT, "Down in the Jungle where Nobody goes, there's a missionary leader slitting a boys throat..." Like the film I'm reviewing, that took a dark turn but at the same time it hopefully gained a reaction out of you. Camino is the story of award winning journalist Avery, played by Tarrantio's favourite stunt woman, Zoe Bell, as she battles both mind and body to survive in the Columbian Jungle, this follows after she initially takes on a photography job following a group of missionaries lead by an eccentric psychopath. Zoe Bell does a good job in this film bringing emotion to her role as well as pain that only a stunt person could make look so real. She is the star of this film and plays the tough bitch role pretty well. This film is like a vehicle in an attempt to push her into acting more than just Stunts. There are some rather well shot sequences such as the editing and use of black and white camera stills which should have been used more throughout the film. These short instances are what stood out to me but the overall amount of use isn't enough to make this film stand out over other films such as Peter Bergs Spoiler ridden title Lone Survivor for example. This film is a standard survival movie similar to, as my title suggests, the first Hunger Games movie, as, SPOILER ALERT, Katniss and Avery find themselves in similar situations. SPOILER ALERT, OK now I didn't get the Husband back story at all with this film. What was the point? Why was it relevant? Maybe the intention was to layer Avery's character and make her more relatable or likable, but it doesn't work because, even though Zoe Bell does a good job as the tough bitch, she isn't particularly likable. To me the Husband backstory and visions of him in the woods showed her going crazy and being in a bad way mentally buts still fighting for survival in her head as well as with her fists. If I'm right then I get it but still it never really goes anywhere in the film and still feels a little irrelevant due to its lack of resolution. One other moment which I completely didn't get was Alejo suddenly not being dead. I have no idea what happened but the first life Avery claimed all of a sudden was alive and well... Well until he got shot in the head by Guillermo. This moment made absolutely no sense and really just left me scratching my head as to wtf was going on. Overall, Camino is a standard survival film which acts as a vehicle for star Zoe Bell, and also has a couple of weird moments with questionable relevance. It's alright, nothing to really recommend or rave about. Watch the film if you are curious maybe, but all in all the film is OK and follows the survivor film formula. So if you like that then give it a watch.
Exciting and well done
This is a film about a photojournalist who gets in over her head. Zoe Bell does a great job with the role, and the supporting cast is excellent. It is exciting, fun, and tense. The scenery is beautiful. It is sweet to see a female action figure who actually looks like she could do it. Bell is a stunt double, who looks like she could take down a lot of men. She is athletic and quick. She also happens to be a good actress. Want a fun evening with a movie that won't make you think or leave you feeling bad? This one is a good bet. My wife and I both enjoyed it, and we are not enamored with just any old movie.
And OK film ... but the intro?
I like Zoe so was more than willing to be entertained, but the Directors vision lets the story down. The lame 'introduction' for example; wft? Do yourself a favor and Fast Forward thru the first 10 minutes of 'Character development' because its a disaster and imho counter-productive and damaging to the film overall. Nothing in that first 10 minutes creates any empathy or positive connection to the character. Seriously,the first 10 minutes are a waste of time and would have been best left on the cutting room floor. The opening Credits begin at the 10:00minute mark, start there and the experience will be greatly improved.
Almost all on it is wrong...
Typical "bad guy" (Nacho) chasing a victim (Zoe Bell) but this time in the jungle. The screen-player or screenwriters of this movie tried to mix the heroic Rambo like skilled photographer with both drugs and violence stereotypical of Colombia. The story is quite poor in content and reality, over-posted loud sounds on violent scenes, guerrilla speaking in English or on Mexican-Spanish even they called Nacho "guero" word that doesn't exist in South-America. Decent photography and OK acting. We are not garbage collectors as Herzog would say... where are the good filmmakers then?
