Camino

Loved this movie. Lately I struggle finding movies with depth, character, quality and not just violence, drugs and porn. This movie reminded me how important journalism is to the oppressed and broken. They go to wars with cameras not guns showing truth not opinion removing self, chancing death, seeing so much pain and carnage! Watch this movie it is up there with the best I've seen in awhile!!

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.

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?

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.

Zoe Bell and the Colombian jungle. A story about truth and apparences, a courageous and brave at whole photojournalist, a picture as seed of hunt against her from a psychopath fake missionary.

In essence , a collection of drawings - religious, social, politic, nostalgic. Beautiful, no doubts, but in a special manner because it seems a webb for a too large target.

Zoe Bell , against feminist sparkles , unrealism of resistence and not the most inspired final is just admirable as Avery. And, in fact, this real matters.
