"After 'Rocky: A Fighter' and 'Raging Bull', it seems that boxing movies follow a pre-programmed playbook with their somewhat obvious fight scenes and repetitive human dramas. 'Jungleland', unfortunately, follows all these formulas. Here, we follow the journey of two brothers trying to make a living with boxing - the older one, played by Charlie Hunnam ('King Arthur'), is kind of an agent, while the younger one, played by Jack O'Connell ('Unbroken') is the one who gives and receives the punches. Max Winkler's ('Flower') screenplay ends up following the most obvious paths possible, never surprising the viewer. It's no wonder that around forty or fifty minutes into the projection we already feel tired. However, Hunnam and O'Connell's good performances convince and hold the quality of the production. So, it's that: do you want a different movie about boxing? It's not the most recommended production. But if you want to travel with these stories you already know, 'Jungleland' is the movie for you."
