Jungle

Many poor reviews on this movie I feel are down to people not watching. Criticism that the lost survival story has been done before and that its predictable. This is based on a true story and from the small amount of research iv done around this movie it is very accurate. Performances from all actors were very genuine and I feel the story of this real life ordeal has been captured very well.

As someone who cringed at Radcliffe's acting as the Boy who Lived, I looked at this a few time's before giving in; I have to say Radcliffe was great - brilliantly acted. I know he was just a kid as Potter but I didn't think he would have reached the levels he manages in this.

It was a slow burner but I reminded myself this is a true story and did end up engrossed in the battle for survival.

It's really worth a watch

For me I've never read the book so I can't compare it to that. I also don't know how accurate it is because I know nothing about trekking through Jungles. However from what I saw it looked very realistic and I enjoyed it. Also Daniel Radcliffe's acting was incredible a real joy to watch.

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.

Not sure if this could be classified as horror, but it certainly got me on the edge of my seat. I've been out in the bush a fair bit and can say that this is all very realistic. Hallucination is very real in the wild, and so is not being able to get quality sleep and your socks getting stuck to your feet due to dried up blisters and foot rot. Ouch.

Great performance from Radcliffe. Good enough for me to have totally forgotten that he was once Harry Potter.

The ending was a little sad. I can only imagine how I would feel if I were in his position.
