Animal Kingdom Trailer
June 27th 2010 04:13
Animal Kingdom won the World Cinema Jury Prize at Sundance 2010, a gripping tale about survival and revenge in the most edgy locale, Melbourne, Australia.
Sundance says, “Pope Cody, an armed robber on the run from a gang of renegade detectives, is in hiding, surrounded by his roughneck friends and family. Soon, Pope’s nephew, Joshua "J" Cody, arrives and moves in with his hitherto-estranged relatives. When tensions between the family and the police reach a bloody peak, "J" finds himself at the center of a cold-blooded revenge plot that turns the family upside down.
“Wielding a formidable cinematic lexicon, writer/director David Michôd shows complete command of every frame as he shifts between simmering intensity and gut-wrenching drama. There isn't a false note in the film as it follows through on the tantalizing promise displayed in his short films and unleashes a fierce new voice in Australian cinema.”
Animal Kingdom opens in movie theaters August 13, 2010.

Probably one of my favourite films of the year and normally I have no faith in Australian films but this one packs a punch.
My review of the film is HERE and it has the Australian version of the trailer included - it also has the film's main song in it towards the end which is really powerful.

Yes, I like that trailer much better. "All Out of Love" is perfect.(BTW: you can adjust trailer sizes in the html. Go to width and you'll see the number to adjust.)
I saw The Black Balloon and loved it. Luke Ford was great in that movie.
Guy Pearce had a small but important role in The Hurt Locker. He was great in it.
I am not familiar with Jackie Weaver, but she does look diabolical -- in an underhanded way.
Australia has some FINE talent.
