Following the death of his mother, the young 'J' Cody goes to live with his estranged gangster relatives. With conflict escalating between his family of criminals and the police's armed robbery division, J finds himself at the centre of a cold-blooded vengeance plot As he naively navigates his way through the criminal underworld, he is forced to question where his loyalties lie as he tries to decipher who he can trust and who can protect him as he struggles for his own survival.

Animal Kingdom review by RP
Gritty tale of Australian criminal family with starngely satisfying ending
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
After the death of his mother from a drugs overdose, teenager Josh goes to live with his grandmother Janine (aka "Smurf") and her family in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. Josh (aka "J") falls in with the criminal life of his uncles, 'Pope', Craig and Darren Cody who have bad habits such as drug dealing and bank robbery. The Cody brothers are under police observation and not only are they criminals but also appear to be a bunch of sociopaths and psychopaths with a tough and protective mother who has a close, almost incestuous, relationship with them. Pope's friend Baz Brown (played by Joel Edgerton, who played one of the lead roles in the recent 'Warrior') acts as role model and mentor to J but is shot by the police. Events spiral from bad to worse as the unpleasant, unpredictable Pope shoots two cops in revenge and suspects both J and his girlfriend of talking to the police... The film is slow moving but shows the unpleasant underbelly of life in a criminal family intermingled with police and legal corruption. J is forced to question where his loyalties lie: and when he decides, it makes for a strangely satisfying ending. 4/5 stars – highly recommended.
