This is the best movie I've seen in years. My husband and I were simply mesmerized by the superb acting and storyline. Absolutely excellent and not... to be missed! Full Review

Don't bother seeing this film because you won't be able to understand half of the dialog.

We saw this film last night, but we didn't hear this film. Whoever was responsible for the sound in this film should be permanently barred from ever... working on another movie. The loud noises were too loud and the soft speaking and whispering were inaudible. That coupled with the difficulty of understanding the Australian accent made for a miserable waste of time and money. Besides, what we were able to hear of the dialog wasn't all that good anyway.

Garbage!!! A total bore from down under. A wannabe Layer Cake. Throw this one in the trash can.

It's a remarkable film: A gritty, gut-churning, crime thriller based on a true story. Its greatness lies in its unwavering fidelity to human nature and the unstoppable laws of the wild.Full Review

A phenomenal debut feature with a terrific title, David Michd's Animal Kingdom is both a study in Darwinian survival-in this case survival of the shrewdest-and a group portrait of ruthless predators in the underworld of Melbourne, Australia.Full Review
