ANIMAL KINGDOM
Following the news that convicted heroin
trafficker and Australian crime family patriarch Macchour Chaouk was
killed in a drive-by shooting Friday, David Michôd’s “Animal Kingdom”
seems more prescient than ever.
An unsentimental look at the goings-on of one particularly close and cold-blooded Melbourne-based crime family,Michôd’s drama stars James Frecheville as “J,” a teen sent to live with his mafioso-like family after his mother dies of an overdose. He’s quickly integrated into his new family’s brood, which is ruled by his devious grandmother Smurf (played by Jacki Weaver) and consists of her three bank robber sons and a close associate. But as the brood’s world begins to unravel, J finds that he’s got no one to trust.
