"Jungle" is well filmed, have beautiful music, and have several metaphors to delight, for those who have artistic personality. Aside from the script, it should be taken much more into consideration as it is based on a true story.

Jungle is a survival story starring Daniel Radcliffe who lost weight to show his characters emaciated state.Based on a true story, Radcliffe plays Israeli Yossi Ghinsberg who went trekking in the Bolivian jungle with three other friends in 1981. They hook up with an Austrian adventurer called Karl, who suggests to them a trip into the Amazon jungle to search for a lost Indian tribe and some gold.Soon after the foursome set off there is some bickering with Karl. Yossi and Kevin part from the other two. However with heavy rainfall their raft capsizes and Yossi gets lost in the rapids.Yossi needs to survive in the jungle and hopes that he gets rescued. He is battered, bruised, has to avoids snakes, other animals and has creepy crawlies in his body. He is constantly left in a hallucinatory state, as the days go on Yossi is clinging to his faith.This is Radcliffe's film, it is rather slow to get going and the other characters in the film are rather sketchy. By the end you can see Radcliffe has had a grim time.

The acting is good, the cinematography is good. Unfortunately, the film is let down by its predictability. So many movies have been done about a group of people lost in the jungle, desert or at sea and the conflict between them in their fight for survival. This movie runs along those same lines. Not a bad watch, but don't expect anything special.

I love the movie! Despite of what people may say about the shortcomings of this movie, I don't care because I enjoy every seconds I spend.
