Jungle

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

I knew nothing about this one, even the synopsis wasn't anything really eye-catching. I don't think I'd even heard anyone talk about this one yet. But, I noticed it was new on Amazon Prime, so I figured what the hell, might be worth checking out.

I'm happy to say I enjoyed the hell out of this. It's a very slow moving story, but very well shot, the acting is fantastic and it sucks you right in. Come to find out this is based on a true story, which makes it that much more interesting. Love it when you find something like this that you have zero expectations about and end up enjoying it. Daniel Radcliffe turns in a fantastic performance as Yossi. His performance really takes you through the emotions the character's going through. It was one of the biggest things that stood out to me in this film.

While the film does have some issues, it takes a bit to get going and I feel like some time could have been cut out of the last half of the film, it's damn solid overall. I'm glad I gave this one a chance. While this movie certainly won't be for everyone, if you're in the mood for a good story, give this one a chance and check it out.

This is not by far a great movie. But it is great worth watching movie. Based from real event movie. i don't understand why 'based from true event' gets low rate. Like what i want in any of survival movie, this movie makes you appreciate your daily 'goodnight' bed. The characters in this film were great, as if you see your own character in one of the characters. You will be able to experience my title in this movie.

p/s : I never watch below 7.0 rating unless if its 'True Story' movie. In this case i watch this movie (now rated 6.7) and found this movie should at least rated 7.1 or above. if you are my 'kind' then you should watch this movie.

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.

Remind me never to go trekking in the Amazonian jungle with nothing but a random guide. True stories always hit harder than fiction. There really are some terrible people in the world and in the same movie, some people with amazing survival skills. I wouldn't have lasted the first night.
