Camp X-Ray—a
film about Guantanamo Bay—elaborates on the acting skills of Kristen Stewart as
she interacts with Peyman Moaadi, who plays a detainee at the camp. The film is
worth watching as a low-key examination of challenges involved in female
military service, following operating procedures when involvement of heart
seems to be called for, and how to address the human factor in such
environments.
Storyline
Amy Cole (Kristen
Stewart), a young woman who joins the United States Army 8 years after
September 11, 2001, receives an assignment to Guantanamo Bay Prison as a prison
guard. She makes an unlikely friend in the process.
