Animal Kingdom (2010)
Written and directed
by David Michod this film stars James Frecheville, Ben Mendelsohn,
Guy Pearce and Jacki Weaver. Following the death of his mother to an
overdose a 17 year old goes to live with the criminal side of his
family.
This is a great
brooding drama which shows a family of criminals slowly cracking
under police pressure. While the plot may not be that different to
anything you have seen before it is handled expertly with great
characters and never stretches events beyond believability. The
direction is spot on with a great use of music and slow tempo that
really keeps you on the edge of your seat.
5/5
