Review of Camp X-Ray (2014) by Sr K — 22 Jan 2017
Camp X-Ray held my attention, I really became interested in watching this relationship with a female guard and prisoner develop. The relationship had a messy start and in all reality, it's a little difficult to believe there would be any opportunity at all for these two characters to form any kind of bond.
They are literally the only two guard/inmates having any dialog at all..but still, I found myself tensing up whenever they did talk, thinking she'd be disciplined at any moment..but the only discipline she really got was from a rejected superior.
These prisoners face real isolation and literally have no worthwhile human contact. I wish, since the movie was testing boundaries of discovery anyway, I had been able to learn more about the prisoner.
Just beiing talkative wasn't enough.. but what do you expect at Guantanamo Bay. I believe this man is innocent and it's difficult to accept "detainees" can be kept for so long without any effort to prove if they have guilty people or not.
8 yrs is a long time to be detained.
