Movie #153 Animal Kingdom *2010*

This is another film that I have already watched this year.  It was Day #18.  So I am going to give it the # Reasons treatment.

Reason 1.  Ben Mendelsohn as "Pope" and Jacki Weaver as "Mama Cody" are two horribly frightening yet mysterious characters.

Reason 2.  David Michod's direction is well paced.  It creates an atmosphere of chaos and uncertainty through slow tracking shots and hand-held scenes of potential madness.

Reason 3.  Stay on the forefront of the Australian film boom with the Aussie "Goodfellas".

Rating : ★★★1/2
