Camp X-Ray (2014) - D: Sattler S: Kristen Stewart



A soldier assigned to Guantanamo Bay befriends a man who has been imprisoned there for eight years.

Looks like this has made a splash at Sundance.

"Ever since the Twilight backlash began, people have questioned whether Stewart is merely a sullen screen queen or a real actor. She puts that argument to rest here, playing a tough, taciturn character driven by an inarticulate urge "to do something important," but steadily awakened by unpredictable reality. It’s a fiercely contained performance, conveying raw personal insights even when Cole outwardly remains clenched in discomfort. There's not a moment Stewart's onscreen here where she isn’t completely transfixing."

"As Camp X-Ray's story unfolds, and Cole begins to identify with and like Ali, the movie relies on what's become Stewart’s signature awkwardness. And by the film's end, Cole has transformed. If that’s Stewart's goal as well, Camp X-Ray is an excellent start."

It's getting mixed reviews and Stewart can't act.

Never hated her, though I've only seen her in some films. If she does good in this she may be able to wipe the mediocre nature for what Twilight held over her.
