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.

Poor Daniel Radcliffe. I can imagine him reading the script of Jungle, based on a true story of one man's harrowing trials when he gets lost in the unexplored jungles of Bolivia. He probably said, "Hey, it worked for James Franco! Maybe I'll get an Oscar nod out of this." If you liked 127 Hours, you'll probably like this one as well. Many people find survival movies to be extremely entertaining - but if you're not one of those people, don't even think of renting it. This isn't like Robert Redford's A Walk in the Woods; it's quite gory and upsetting.

You won't believe it until you see it, but Jungle is actually grosser than 127 Hours. What could be more disgusting than cutting off your own arm with a pocket knife? There are three scenes where the lead actor has to eat an animal in order to keep his energy up, and they're so upsetting, I would highly recommend fast-forwarding them as I did. In one scene, Daniel has to cut open his own forehead to rid himself of a parasite; in another, he fights off a vicious snake to prove his manliness. It's heartbreaking to remind yourself that a man actually did live through these things and that you're not just watching a "for your consideration" piece of entertainment.

I was very interested in seeing Daniel Radcliffe's acting chops in what was arguably a one-man show, but as a squeamish viewer, I knew some of it would be too intense. If you're like me, skip ahead for a few minutes when they capture the baboon, when he figures out there's a bug in his head, and when he finds the bird's egg. In my opinion, it was a little unnecessary for the film to be that gross, but it was a small price to pay to see a great acting performance.

Physical acting is often taken for granted, but it really shouldn't be. Swimming around in the rapids, climbing and hiking in difficult terrain, and getting stuck in quicksand - take after take after take - is quite difficult to do. As is maintaining (and increasing throughout the film) a sense of exhaustion, starvation, and hopelessness - take after take after take. In addition to all the physical and emotional acting, Daniel also put on a distinctive Israeli accent.

The scenery in the film, though obviously dangerous, is quite beautiful (the jungle scenes were filmed in Australia). And you'll absolutely take an emotional journey while watching Daniel's on the screen, but just make sure you have the stomach for it. Daniel Radcliffe has certainly proved his point: he's no longer the sweet little Harry Potter kid. Now he can go make some mainstream movies for a nice change.

DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. When Daniel Radcliffe takes the hallucinogenic drug, he sees double vision for a couple of minutes, and during the water rapids scene, the camera spins around quite a bit, and that will make you sick. In other words, "Don't Look, Mom!"

Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to gore and upsetting situations involving animals, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.

JUNGLE is the latest jungle adventure flick following from the likes of THE LOST CITY OF Z and RESCUE DAWN. Once again it's based on a true story, with a hiking trip in Bolivia going awry when the members end up falling out and splitting up and a mishap down the rapids causes one of them to go it alone against an increasingly hostile wilderness. It's a showcase for the acting talents of Daniel Radcliffe and he tackles the part with enthusiasm, although it has to be said that this is quite a familiar story by now and in many ways inferior to more profound work, like the Herzog movie. For example, the reliance on flashbacks in the second half smacks of padding. Still, Aussie director Greg McLean, of WOLF CREEK fame, brings some of his trademark grue to the tale, and it's enough to keep you watching.
