DVD of the Week |
|
This week's DVD of the Week is 'Jungle'.
Daniel Radcliffe stars in another demanding role as an adventurer that gets in over his head when a venture into the Australian jungle goes wrong. Without gear, skills, or even realistic hope, Daniel's character must survive by any means he can muster. Though the scenes can be over the top at times, the fact that it is based on a true story adds depth.
