It's been 10 years since #AnimalKingdom was released in Australian cinemas. Celebrate with this special Q&A with Ben Mendelsohn, Joel Edgerton, Jacki Weaver and Director David Michod:
Following the death of his mother, 17-year-old Joshua 'J' Cody (newcomer James Frecheville) moves in with his doting grandmother, Smurf (#JackiWeaver), and her three criminal sons—the Cody boys. The eldest, “Pope” (#BenMendelsohn) is an armed robber, in hiding from a cadre of renegade detectives. Then there’s Craig (Sullivan Stapleton), a successful but volatile drug dealer, and the youngest, Darren (Luke Ford), who naïvely follows his brothers' lead.
Just as Pope's business partner and best mate, Barry Brown (#JoelEdgerton), decides that he wants out, tensions between the Codys and the police explode. J finds himself at the centre of a cold-blooded revenge plot that turns his family upside down and throws him directly into the path of senior homicide detective, Nathan Leckie (#GuyPearce).
Animal Kingdom is a powerful crime drama that tells the story of a tense battle between a criminal family and the police and of the ordinary lives caught in the middle.
