The title of this Australian crime thriller is derived from an analogy of the circle of life, where the strong either protect or devour the weak. Just replace the lions with evil bastard crime-lords and crooked-cops, the cubs with some unfortunate teens and Temone and Pumba with a couple of coke snorters. OK, so it’s not entirely synonymous, but holy crap, Animal Kingdom ramps up the intensity from out of nowhere. All-mighty performances all ‘round cements the film in pure win. The beginning drags slightly, but give it time to warm up and it’ll burn a hole in your cranium.
