Lost in the Woods: Greg McLean's 'Jungle'

Jungle recounts the real-life ordeal experienced by Yossi Ghinsberg, who, in 1981, spent three weeks alone, lost and without provisions in the Amazon rainforest. Helmed by Wolf Creek director Greg McLean and starring Harry Potter headliner Daniel Radcliffe, this survival-against-the-odds film is ultimately a superficial mishmash of strengths and shortcomings, writes Glenn Dunks.
