pstueber Based on a true story. Scenery so authentic! The jungle and the river rapids vivid and real. I Thought Radcliffe performance was as authentic as it gets for someone truly lost in a jungle. A great performance. This movie stayed with me the next day. It's one way I rate a good movie. I was impacted By the survival instincts of humankind. I especially liked the performance of Radcliffe when he started the hallucinations and the desire to let go. The cinematography deserves an Oscar. Awards to Radcliffe!
krocheav Jungle certainly packs an exciting punch. With a story based on the travel exploits of Yossi Ginsberg and interestingly adapted from his book by screen writer Justin Monjo, it takes the viewer on the journey of a lifetime. You won't easily forget the extremes offered up by unrelenting Bolivian landscapes and rivers - not to mention a darkly suspect guide perfectly played by Thomas Kretschmann. The entire cast superbly render their assorted characters drawing us deeper into this above average, based on fact survival drama. Australian horror director Greg McLean (Wolf Creek) might not have been the best choice for this intelligent offering but it's probably his best work to date. Australian Cinematographer Stefan Duscio creates a strong visual style giving the film a striking look - while Melbourne born composer Johnny Klimek, adds a fine atmospheric score. A few minor flaws are overcome by a hard working crew bringing to life an intense true story.
mcleanmuir It is a very good film that is based on a true story.
nadiatownshend 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.
