THE MOVIE \u2014 3\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Celebrated war photographer Avery Taggert (ZOE BELL) is on assignment in the Columbian jungle following a group of missionaries led by Guillermo (NACH VIGALONDO) as they bring meds to the poor. But when Avery\u2019s lens captures the leader conducting a cocaine deal and murdering a child witness, Guillermo tells his troops that Avery is a threat and orders them to kill her. She now has to flee into the wild jungle and a relentlessly brutal chase begins.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Camino<\/em><\/strong> is a decent enough if not also forgettable survival-thriller that has a few okay fight scenes and a performance from Zoe Bell which was serviceable, however she\u2019s hardly the strongest actress and why she\u2019s mostly known as a great stuntwoman, for which she showcases some of her skills. Nacho Vigalondo is fine as a manipulative and corrupt \u201cfreedom fighter\u201d and everybody else was window dressing.<\/p>\n

One of the bigger issues is there\u2019s a rather heavy amount of suspension of disbelief that a photography, albeit someone accomplished, can become Rambo-esque. Sure, she does take a beating but does get the better of individuals used to fighting; an easy fix would be having Avery being some sort of former Special Forces soldier, but alas…<\/p>\n

Camino<\/em><\/strong> was directed by Josh C. Waller in his third feature film and last one to be released (IMDb has him attached to another project, but no update since 2017), with a script by Waller\u2019s collaborator, Daniel Noah. There\u2019s nothing particularly special about the movie although Waller tries to give the film some visual flair here and there, but it\u2019s still entertaining enough if only as a rental.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

MVD Entertainment releases Camino<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. For the most part this is a fine looking HD picture, detail is reasonably sharp throughout even though a good portion does take place at (day for) night, while the day time scenes show off bright and vibrant colors. I didn\u2019t notice any major flaws or blemishes so yhr transfer does appear to be fairly clean.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4\u00bd\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movie comes with a strong and depth-filled DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Dialogue comes across with good clarity with the front and rear channels being utilized for the ambient noises in the jungle or a somewhat bombastic score from Kreng.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
