    “Jungle Patrol” is a WWII drama set on a remote airfield in New Guinea, where one woman and a crew of men pass time in a single-room setting. The action happens offscreen, relayed over the radio. While a few character moments land, the film drags despite its short runtime. With its slow pacing and limited tension, it ultimately feels longer than it is.
