Everyone in this movie lays down a terrific performance. Such a dark and suspenseful movie.
This movie is an under the radar gem! Such a great crime drama! It spawned the long running tv show. Amazing story and plot turns. Must see!
Complicated family drama with some masterful performances. No wonder this was turned into a tv show because there is so much to be explored
Godfather-esque. A kid just needing a place to stay with family inevitably gets mixed up with his uncles' dirt.
Cold blooded, realistic gangster movie. The domination over all these alpha males makes the dynamics quite interesting.
Tense and well-crafted, though it takes some structural risks that don't entirely pay off, disrupting the pacing and character arcs.
Didn't expect so much of a suspense. I really enjoyed it.
Very gritty. Great crime drama with top notch acting.
What was a “just OK” movie turned into a truly good one in the final act. Simply bristles with calm menace.
Less intriguing than the TV series which was based on this work, Animal Kingdom offers a dreary and dark take on these unsavory characters.
