Animal Kingdom (2010)

Animal Kingdom

Acclaimed Australian movie digging into a crime family. 17 year old J have been estranged from his mother's family, but as she dies to an overdose J has nowhere else to go. He soon finds himself tied up in their everyday world of crime.

With police in war mode, bodies soon starts dropping, and J will have to decide what life he wants for himself. Heard it before? Yeah, it's not exactly original.

A lot of the acting is good though, but the weakness is the story which never engage. While debut feature film writer and director David Michôd show some great promise in creating real life situations, the gritty isn't gritty enough, the characters are too shallow and with such an uninteresting story I've got no idea how people so easily have fallen in love with it.
