Is it worth mentioning that the three lead actors are British? Probably not because most people won't notice, they're pretty good actors. Charlie Hunnam (King Arthur) is older brother Stanley who "looks after" younger brother Jack O'Connell (Unbroken) playing Walter who is a skilled fighter. The phrase "if not for bad luck they'd have no luck at all" applies directly to these guys. Their dire situation expectedly leads to spiraling poorer choices which indebt them to a loan-shark who makes them an offer they can't refuse. Thus begins their road trip to a big fight with a big payday... The catch? They have to take Sky (Jessica Barden of Hanna) along with them. Viewers expecting another Warrior or The fighter will be disappointed... This is more a drama. There is a bit of action thrown in to keep fight fans happy, but the film is about the complexities of family relationships, the struggle to realize one's dreams, the hopelessness of failure and redemption of the spirit. The actors suck you into their world and drag you along the seedy and grimy sidewalks of their life. The camera work is very clean, the scenery spans from gritty to beautiful, and the score is always appropriate, but this is a character driven film, and done well.

I don't really know what else to say. This film was a really touching experience watching two brothers struggle to make a dream in order to have something in life. But in the process, perhaps becoming misguided and lost in the journey. Charlie and Jack really do a great job of conveying these conflictions and emotions on screen and you can't help but yearn for their ambitions to work out too. I'd recommend.

I put off watching this because the plot felt underwhelming but if you're a fan of cinema this film was beautifully shot and directed.

Really great cast and characters as well. Loved the pacing of this film.

Well shot and with great performances by the three leads, this is a heartfelt film about lost lives and family. Definitely worth a watch.

Although Max Winkler's directing was decent, his story was slow, depressing, unsatisfying, and basically the story of every person who wasn't raised with a silver spoon. So you'll get nothing out of this except for a reality check on the lemons of life. I just wish the story had more punch than what the fists were giving. There were flaws, plot and technical issues in the screenplay. The 90 min runtime felt almost 3 hours long with the slow pacing. Performances however where outstanding, and the cinematography and score on point. It's a generous 7/10 from me.

I had an original rating of 6/10 but bumped it up to 7/10. Charlie Hunnam is one of my favourite actors, so when I saw that he was in this film it caught my attention. What made me stay was the performance of the cast as well as the cinematography. There were some scenes that just kept me watching.

I liked it and i felt it but overall it isn't that good, could have been alot better, the cast was great tho. 6.5/10

This is a character film with a few fight scenes mixed in. The acting is great and story is very engaging. You end up rooting for these characters since they are all suffering a lot.

Jungleland is a standard issue drama about people living on the fringes of society who are constantly struggling and scheming to find their way out. All the characteristics are very familiar and it wallows in misery for the most part without being depressing. What makes it worth enduring all the hardships are the strong performances and an ending that offers the closest thing to a best case scenario for everyone involved.

Charlie Hunnam and Jack O'Connell are believable as brothers who are complete opposites. Hunnam is quick to lash out and constantly planning with little success whereas O'Connell is more physically competent yet also the more thoughtful one. They have big dreams and different ways of going about them which creates a lot of the best conflict throughout. Jessica Barden rounds out the main trio by challenging their dynamic.

Max Winkler's direction does a good job of making proceedings feel pretty natural. Damián García's cinematography creates a few nicely composed frames and moves about fairly frequently but overall it's designed to go unnoticed for a greater sense of realism it's fairly successful in creating. The use of a Bruce Springsteen song during the final moments really helps to get the desired effect and ensure it lands with some real impact.

2.5 out of 5 stars.

Jungleland is a pretty bad drama about two brothers played by Charlie Hunnam and Jack O Connell. One fights and the other is coaching and supportive by his side. But has debts that a mobster is after. But is willing to stake a big fight for the brother to enter. While they take a girl with them to that state.

The plot is decent. But the direction is dull and tedious. Its flat with the dramatic scenes.

The cast performances is great. The music score is dull. It is one film that is quite forgettable.

I don't usually write reviews but after seeing the criminally underscored rating, I decided to. In short, this film had me drawn in with the talent, hooked with the plot, invested in the characters and satisfied with the ending. A pleasure to see O'Connell, Hunnam and Jessica Barden give stellar performances side by side in beautiful cinematography.

Seemed like a low budget The Fighter, great cast but they tried very hard to make a novel drama movie than actually showing us the purpose and real life challenges to go through as a "fighter"

Gritty, captivating and well acted; "Jungleland"oversees conventional flaws and brings character to the screen.

In this drama, two brothers try to escape their circumstances by travelling across the country for a boxing match that becomes a fight for their lives.

A real treat for those into a solid sports and crime drama; "Jungleland" is a surprisingly decent character study with Charlie Hunnam at the forefront of the stellar performances. Director Max Winkler captures a dark and raw essence throughout with an ending you'll never see coming. A thoroughly satisfying drama.

First thirty minutes showed a lot of promise for an entertaining, engaging drama. Then they introduced the girl, who had trouble written all over her. Yay, a babysitting movie. But it gets worse. She can "take care of herself," has a major attitude, and is extremely deceitful. Surprise! The oldest cliches in the book are put into play, exacerbated by the fact that one of the main characters falls for every one. The little thrills here and there make up for it, or try to, and Hunnam's excellent performance saves this from a 5 for me, especially given the mediocre ending.

A great film very well acted. Nothing to do with the awesome Springsteen song of the same name, however the Springsteen song right at the end was a perfect song for a very good, although a bit of a sad film. Well worth watching.

Its great, i just dont get why you get english actors to play an american movie, i know they are better, but nonetheless surely make more sense to have yanks play those roles? Be better if set in england with these actors Utb

Quick and easy review, the cast were great, exactly like you would expect, I really like the way it looked and the score too, reminded me a bit of films like The Wrestler. The let down for me and the only reason I couldn't score this over a 5 was the story. I mean it isn't bad, we've seen it before done better and we'll see it again done worse. With this one it just feels a little too contrived and easy, add in the money Involved (this is the 2020s not the 1970s!) and it just leaves it feeling like there isn't much at stake. Is it a waste of time? Yes. but if you want to waste some time watching the cast you already know are great then give it a watch

Watched it on a whim since comedian Nick Mullen had a stupid two minute role and going by the trailer, I reckoned it had something concrete. It just blew me away. Charlie Hunnam's chops are Christian Bale (The Fighter) level here, minus the weight loss. The two younger characters are extremely well cast. If you liked "Warriors" , this is reminiscent of that film although on a smaller budget and non existent fanfare. The sentiments run high, carried along magnificently by that haunting soundtrack. When The Boss croons to signal the finale, you're gonna be all in!

The water and the electricity would be cut off until the bank owned property finally got a buyer. The bank will not waste money on utility bills, yet these two guys squatted in a fore-closure bank owned house with water and electricity, even with pretty good mattresses beds, and even a iron to press their shirts? Taking showers? Jesus, are you guys really that stupid without the least common sense? Charlie Hunnam's role is so exaggerated and so annoying all the time. He just used his brother to make some pathetic money and bet on him to win with blood and wounds. This is NOT a good movie, not even close to Charles Bronson's 1975 "Hard Time". But time really flying fast, Charlie Hunnan got white beard now.

Great story and great acting, but really not sure why 3 English actors playing the main role of American makes no sense at all.

Keeping it short. I had high hopes for this one, but so glad I did not have to see it at the cinema. What a depressing and sucky movie. Some might say it's so "deep and beautiful" well, I say bull*hit! This was just a waste of time, even with a pandemic outside. Boring and gave me nothing but a bad mood.

Honest opinion, I feel a 4/10 is being generous
