Jungle (2017)

From George Clooney in The Perfect Storm (2000) to Viggo Mortensen in Thirteen Lives (2022), nothing gets the blood pumping more than watching sweaty men use their heads and hands to overcome killer obstacles in real-life survival movies. Take Mark Wahlberg in Deepwater Horizon (2016); Emile Hirsch in Into the Wild (2007); Colin Farrell in The Way Back (2010); James Franco in 127 Hours (2010); Jason Clarke in Everest (2015); plus Chiwetel Ejiofor in The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2019). And then there’s Daniel Radcliffe in the factual flick Jungle (2017), not to be confused with Jack Whitehall in the fictional pic Jungle Cruise (2021). Set in the 1980s, this R rated biographical drama follows Israeli adventurer Yossi Ghinsberg (Radcliffe) who is struck with wanderlust. As such, he travels into the Amazon rainforest with his three friends: Markus (Joel Jackson), Kevin (Alex Russell), and Karl (Thomas Kretschmann). The last time Mr. Man recalls seeing four friends head into the forest, things didn’t go so well since the film was called Deliverance (1972). This trip is equally scary as it includes unfortunate events that separate Yossi from his buddies. Without anything but his wits (which soon dwindle as starvation and loneliness set in), Yossi is in peril. We won’t tell you if he makes it out alive but we can direct you to a lineup of tight asses. Fast-forward to the 21-minute mark to see the naked T&A on Radcliffe, Russell, and Jackson. Suffice it to say, Jungle will please your bunghole!
