Zoe Bell first appeared on the film scene as a stuntwoman, and one particularly favored by Quentin Tarantino, who slammed her around in “Kill Bill” and rewarded her with a supporting part in “Death Proof.” Now Bell’s developed into an appealing actress, gifted no-nonsense characters in parts that favor her natural physicality and intimidating stance. “Camino” arrives as a rare dramatic test for Bell, handed a lead role that challenges her range as much as her stamina, with the jungle adventure asking a great deal of the actress as she’s pummeled by enemies and the elements. “Camino” is solid work, with periodic highlights of suspense guided superbly by director Josh C. Waller. However, the movie is perhaps best valued as a chance to see Bell transform into a lead, handling everything thrown at her with nuance and ferocity. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
