If you go down to the Amazon rain forest in the 1980s


Jungle (2017)

Directed by Greg McLean this film based on real events stars Daniel Radcliff, Alex Russell, Thomas Kretschmann and Joel Koman. Three backpackers are convinced to head off into the Bolivian jungle by a man claiming to know of lost tribes and gold.

It seems this film sticks largely to it's source material and while it does paint it's subjects as naïve idiots it is a fairly decent watch. The script does not really comment on the views of the characters which is a bit of a shame but does at least show an average survival story. Things take a little while to get going but over all this is a fairly well made film.

3/5
