Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

pjhoyles Other reviewers have described the story of this film, so I won't repeat. Suffice it to say, for me, all aspects of this film drew me in and the tension built up and the whole thing drew me into it. Our star, Avery (Zoe Bell) actually handled her camera and shooting quite well, aided by great photography by the movie cameraman and black and white freeze-frames to give us the pictures she took. This was charming. Then she takes posed pictures of the team that she is following and the flash goes off unexpectedly. This would not happen in real life, you would hear the flash charging whine first, but we will ride through this because it was important later on, that the flash should go off unexpectedly at a very bad time and so change the whole temperament of the film and the gnawing tension of a chase that followed. I kept wanting Avery (Bell) to strike some big moves in her fighting, but it became clear that she was true to her character, that she was really a photographer put in a life-or-death situation and had to fight the best way she could, and she had not trained secretly as some marshal-arts champ. Fine, she took an awful beating several times, but she came out the winner, however reluctantly she was forced to fight. The chases through the jungle were very well filmed and kept me on the edge of my seat. No joking, it must have been an incredible effort to actually film all of that in tropical jungle, mountains and rivers and waterfalls and still get exciting shots and angles that forced the action forward. Nacho Vigalondo as Guillermo, the leader of the group, was very believable and did not let us down as some debauched war monger but he gave us a stirring performance, a beautiful monologue and an understandable character who had to do what he had to do. On the other hand, I am still not sure how Alejo (Tenoch Huerta) could have come back from the dead in the last part of the film, not sure whether it was meant to all be in Avery's mind as a hallucination, or not, but it was exciting. On the whole, I felt this film was believable, exciting, dangerous, in glorious tropical jungle, well photographed and portrayed under what must have been difficult circumstances. All actors gave us believable characters. Great entertainment. What more can you want?

Kvetka Shevchenko 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.

ricpue 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?

pahi58 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.
