The initial scenes felt strangely muted, as if the impact wasn't fully developed. The narrative presented a very specific viewpoint, which I found problematic given the seriousness of the subject matter. The film’s goal seemed to be highlighting the abuses occurring at Guantanamo Bay under US military control. However, it largely sidestepped those harsh realities, instead concentrating on the unexpected connection between an inmate and a female guard. Despite having a small cast, being filmed primarily in one location, and starting out rather conventionally, the film ultimately proved quite compelling. As I watched, I made several predictions about what would occur, for example, that Amy Cole (played by Kristen Stewart) was working undercover to extract information from the detainees because she was the only woman present. But, as frequently happens, my assumptions turned out to be incorrect; it was a remarkably straightforward portrayal filled with genuine human feeling. I initially believed they were punishing deserving terrorists. Considering their actions, I felt that depicting events solely from a humanitarian perspective went too far. It struck me as propaganda designed to portray the US negatively—that's why the film avoids showing any acts of terror committed by the detainees, only focusing on the repercussions they experience. It felt like a Hollywood production intended to elicit sympathy for terrorists and their supporters. I concede that some may have been innocent. Just as unintended creatures get caught in a fishing net, I feel bad about what happened to them. But realistically, most—around 95%—were callous individuals. People’s reactions to this film will inevitably be shaped by personal beliefs, background, or simply their capacity for empathy, and that's perfectly acceptable. 6/10
