Reviews

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Syo Kennex Camp X is a two-part documentary from Canada, about Camp X, where the first spies for Britain and America were trained during the Second World War. Seeing this on the History Channel, I quickly set it to record in order to sit and watch it through. Something that was highly secretive, and wasn't well known about. Something that isn't really spoke or talked about within England, I was definitely excited to learn more about Camp X.First of all, I think that splitting the documentary into two parts was a good idea. Instead of trying to force so much information into one 45 minute documentary, we were given an hour and a half of information, and the first part even ended in a cliff hanger that made me for sure want to watch on. Even if I wasn't already interested in watching it, the cliff hanger for sure caught my attention more than it already was.The information in this is precise. It's lengthy, and has all the details, but it is still precise. The documentary doesn't give us more than we need to know, and keeps things simple. Although a little infuriating for such simple terms to be used, and then explained, this is really well done. Anyone watching it can listen to the information, understand what this information is and what it means, and it allows much more understanding. People are more likely to watch this.I don't think there is anything I would change about this documentary, and I definitely recommend it to anyone with interest in the subject matter. This was really well rounded, with accurate information, and a clear and precise learning method. Everything a documentary should be.
