Jungle (2017)

I'm glad I took a chance on this movie instead of continuing to look it over. Daniel Radcliffe was great. The cinematography was excellent. The other acting was spot on.

I gave it 9/10 because I can't understand how your buddy can be unable to walk yet you obsess over continuing the journey. It would only be natural to me to abort and get back to safety and assistance, not turn selfish and put a friend at major risk. I just didn't care for that scene and can't relate to it.

That is a minor complaint-something specific to me. Overall, a great movie that I've already recommended to friends.

Fmovies: I loved the movie- it's the kind you keep thinking about even after the credits roll. I feel like the naysayers fall into 1 of 2 categories: 1. They're know-it-alls - just because the characters didn't make the choices you wanted them to do, doesn't make it a bad movie- if that's what you're after, go play The Sims! 2. They're people who don't agree with the premise of the movie, but it's based on a true story, so if you want to tell your own story... start writing the script to your own movie!

I may be a bit bitter, but some of the reviews with low ratings on IMDB may have caused me to miss out in this wonderful film!

Im gonna start off with Daniel Radcliffe. He was simply BRILLIANT in this movie. Trully astonishing and thrilling true story was beautifully brought to screen. I loved the cinematography, landscape shots and camera work overall. I can't understand why this movie has rating of 6.7, while movies like justice league, with no story, or with the story that we've seen multiple times already, have ratings 8+. I would recommend this movie to everyone. Its inspiring, shows us how small we really are before the mighty jungle.

Jungle fmovies. From the moment Jungle begins it doesn't let you go and even when you've finished it it comes back and haunts you because you can't believe this actually happened. It's a very inspiring story about a group of naive young men and the psychological impact of the experience on Radcliffe's character is emotional and scary whilst affecting. The scenery is breathtaking, the story - true. Radcliffe's acting talents shine through and he is unrecognizable in this role. A brilliant film and story of survival that should not be missed.

A mysterious guide takes an enthusiastic adventurer and his friend into the Amazon jungle, but their journey turns deadly as the darkest element of the human nature and threats of the wild force them to fight for survival.

Daniel Raddcliffe (plays Yossi Ghinsberg) trades out the Dark Forest of Hogwarts for the Amazon. In 1981, Israel-born Ghinsberg (on whose account the film is about) follows a charming but deeply untrustworthy Austrian, Karl Ruprecter (Thomas Kretschmann), into the wilderness of Bolivia on the promise of finding a lost tribe and hopefully some gold along the way. Ghinsberg persuades two of his backpacking friends (played by Australian actors Alex Russell and Joel Jackson) to go along.

Greg McLean who is also behind "The Belko Experiment" and "Wolf Creek" also writes and directs this true story. Anybody who has lost their bearings on a hike for even a moment can understand the heart pounding panic portrayed in the film, along with the delicate state ones friendship might be when taking on nature's harshness. Greg does a tremendous job of putting us in Yossi's shoes, as he faces starvation, quick sand, skin worms, flashbacks and hallucinations. Radcliffe immerses himself entirely into the physical demands of this role and the result is a traumatic journey from which it's tough to see any positive outcome.

Rated R for language and some drug use I watched this on VidAngel and the rating only covers ½ of the content. Language is high here but there is also quite a bit of nudity, male rear nudity, female nudity and a woman in lingerie undressing.

Young guys seeking adventure trek into South American jungle as if it were a tourist destination. They are clueless and have no survival skills. You can fill in the blanks from there. Still, if you like survival movies -- as I do -- this is worth a look. High production values and credible acting. I enjoyed the ride.
