Description: A group of friends join a guide for a trek into the Bolivian jungle, searching for an Indian village. The men soon realize that the jungle is a difficult place to be.
Review: Daniel Radcliffe exchanges his nerdy look for a more rugged backpackers look for this intense survival drama. A bit predictable, but with a strong performance by Radcliffe.
The film is based on the true story of Yossi Ginsberg and his travel companions. They decide on the search for an Indian village in the Bolivian jungle. A guide escorts them, but they group realizes it’s not an easy task. The jungle becomes their biggest enemy.
Daniel Radcliffe has come a long way from the Harry Potter films that made him a star. He never managed to lose that image, but he comes awfully close here. He shows that he can be a strong performer.
It’s beautifully filmed and the way it’s showed to us how Yossi hallucinates is shot really well too.
It’s not very special overall, but it is a solid survival drama.
Rating: 3/ 5
