Camino (2015)
5/10
GOOD DIRECTION, MUCH LESS SCREENPLAY
19 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Good versus bad, actually very bad. A journalist, sent to South America for a photographic reportage, in the middle of the forest meets (or rather collides) with the leader of the rebels, a bad guy capable of killing children. The film consists of a series of chases, up to the just conviction of the offender. The protagonist is neither beautiful nor nice, while her antagonist suffers from logorrhea (every time he opens her mouth we can't wait for him to finish speaking). The scenes of violence, in addition to being too brutal, are doubly unlikely: first of all because she reveals that she is a fierce fighter without us knowing why; and secondly because a person so affected and also injured would not have been able to survive, or at least continue. Finally, the final scene (the editor-in-chief who insists that she stay) is false: why is she giving up a secure profession? It's not explained. The ending with the close-up of her turning around with an ironic quip is unbearable.
