Animal Kingdom (2010)

Dil Marc: 9/10 Stars

Rotten Tomatoes: 96%

Probably the best crime film I've seen in a very long time. This Australian movie succeeds in every way Hollywood films doesn't. With a relatively unknown cast other than Guy Pearce, its loosely inspired by the real life Pettingill Family and the 1988 Walsh Street police shooting. The directing, acting and score is near perfect. The moment the movie started i knew it was gonna be a really good film. Animal Kingdom tells the story of seventeen year-old J (Josh) as he navigates his survival amongst an explosive criminal family and the detective who thinks he can save him. There's nothing more that can be said other than GO WATCH IT. I don't know if its out in Singapore or if it will be out at all  but i think those who really want to watch it will know where to find it.

"It's a crazy fucking world."
