Jungleland

'Its a dog eat dog world out there' is the saying or phrase that comes to mind, having seen this film. Its a bit of a coming of age tale of a less than well off family unit of adolescents trying to get by, making money from the underground boxing/fight scene. Its bleak and unsettling at times, with some moderate violence featuring. I thought Jessica Barden did well as the main female character. Its a sad, gritty and somewhat poignant film at times that highlights adversity

Kinda just sits in the middle lane under the speed limit, getting you from A to B.

Gritty stuff w good performances. It does drag in some parts, but that's by design. It's a slog of an existence for these folks. Good enough to recommend a solitary viewing if you've read the synopsis and it feels like your type of flick. 6.4

It's weird when a movie wants you to have sympathy for its characters while at the same time refusing to let them behave as anything other than stupid or obnoxious. And not even the acting saves them since the performances are spotty at best.

2 erkek kardeş, 1'i boksör hayatlarını kurtarmak isterler. Dövüşerek para kazanmaya güvenen kardeşler, mafya babasına para kaptırırlar. Jungleland'de dövüş turnuvasına katılmak için yola yanlarına 1 kızı alırlar. Formulsel sinemayı kullanan film, oyuncuların gücüyle izleniliyor. Filmin sonunda, son dövüş. Gaz ver kardeşine gaz ver. Ben eve ev demem. Onunla biriyle paylaşmadıkça.

Jungleland really works thanks to three impeccable performances at the centre of the film from Hunnam, O'Connell and Barden. They are all broken people looking for another chance at redemption. Heavy on the drama and the fight for survival troupe Jungleland is easy to follow from a narrative stand point. Stan Kaminsky is a hustler and it catches up to him as he tries to set his brother up for success.

As with Winkler's prior, Flower, "I won't sit here and say that I didn't enjoy it because I did. I wasn't bored, and at times I was pretty into it." Less so than Flower, but still. Hunnam was inconsistent and I can't tell if it was the script, him or a mixture of both. Sometimes he was endearing/funny, others he was amateurish. O'Connell was one-note surprisingly. The musical choices made this feel whimsical, which it shouldn't. Breezy for its subject matter, no real impact. Mediocre.

all points for nick mullen and that geriatric mobster
