“Animal Kingdom” is a descent thriller/drama about a criminal family. The film opens with a pretty black scene after which the main character, Joshua, is taken in with his larger family under the motherly care of his grandmother. Pretty soon ‘J’ is submurged in the violent world of his cousins and uncles. When the police (mainly the moustaches Guy Pearce) think Joshua might be a way to take care of the family, things get rough.
Like I said, a descent film.
