Animal Kingdom (2010) - 113 min

Country: Australia
Director: David Michôd
Cast: Ben Mendelsohn, Joel Edgerton, Guy Pearce, Luke Ford, Jacki Weaver, Sullivan Stapleton & James Frecheville.
Joshua finds his mother died of an overdose and called his grandmother to come over. She invites Joshua to her home where his uncles live. The cops are looking for an opportunity to nail down his uncles.
Animal Kingdom is loosely inspired by the Walsh Street police murders in 1988 Writer-director David Michod makes the movie unpredictable from the start and never know what happens next. The casting looks rich, David Michod can do whatever he likes when he got guys like Joel Edgerton and Guy Pearce on board. You will hate some characters for sure, especially Ben Mendelsohn and Jacki Weaver's characters. Credit goes to them to fully immerse into their roles and Jacki Weaver was nominated for Best Supporting Actress category at the 83rd Academy Awards. Overall, This Australian gangster movie is an unsentimental crime movie to watch and more brutal than his 'The Rover' movie.
Verdict: Good
