'Animal Kingdom' (2010) - David Michôd.

Spikier than a hedgehog's R-sole! David Michôd's voluptuously villainous 'Animal Kingdom' is a terrifically toothsome, ferociously fearless contemporary crime classic from down under that bluntly exposes the brutish, morally destitute, downward spiralling destiny of a feral family of illicitly entertaining, tyrannically toxic thugs! This excitingly unfiltered gangster gem might be zoo much for those of a more delicate disposition, but thrill-seekers with a more robust cinematic constitution should find that the nefarious proclivities of these rabidly wrong-headed rapscallions make for murderously magnetic viewing! The muscular menagerie of raw, naturalistic performances and sinewy filmmaking from powerhouse director David Michôd guarantees that watching the asinine antics of these agitated Antipodean badfellas is never less than a scintillating experience! Like a dark web episode of 'Neighbours' on weaponized methamphetamines, 'Animal Kingdom' proves dangerously addictive!
