Review of Jungle

Jungle (I) (2017)
Not bad... But not a Horror film as it was listed.

I had to temper my expectations for writing this review after watching this movie. It was listed as a horror flick on Amazon Prime suggesting that a group of friends were trying to escape something, probably a predator or other person(s) hunting them. If that's what you're expecting then you will be disappointed, just as I was. But all in all it was a good movie and Daniel Radcliffe actually does a pretty good job. But where I instantly have problems is how they were ill-equipped for a trek through the jungle for 6 days or so. Improper clothing, no tools, no food... so it's a miracle any of them actually survived and mostly due to sheer luck and not any saying they actually did on their own. However the cinematography for it was over-the-top. As an example trying to depict the feet being torn up after walking in Boots for a week was extremely overbearing. anyone that had feet that look like that wouldn't be able to walk on them and gangrene would set in. seriously at the end of the story I'm wondering how anyone made it out alive considering the poor decisions they seem to make over and over again there survived in spite of their poor judgement and while I didn't read the book I'm hoping that it didn't come across like the movie and was more humble.
