from Jo-Blo:
ANIMAL KINGDOM, one of the Sundance Film Festival's most buzzed about films last year will be making its way to DVD and Blu-ray on January 18th.
Official Synopsis: Armed robber Pope Cody (BEN MENDELSOHN) is in hiding, on the run from a gang of renegade detectives who want him dead. His business partner and best friend, Barry 'Baz' Brown (JOEL EDGERTON), wants out of the game, recognizing that their days of old-school banditry are all but over. Pope's younger brother, the speed-addicted and volatile Craig Cody (SULLIVAN STAPLETON), is making a fortune in the illicit substances trade - the true cash cow of the modern criminal fraternity - while the youngest Cody brother, Darren (LUKE FORD), naively navigates his way through this criminal world - the only world his family has ever known. And into this world arrives their nephew, Joshua 'J' Cody (JAMES FRECHEVILLE).
When tensions between family and police reach a bloody peak, J finds himself at the center of a cold-blooded revenge plot that turns the family upside down, and which also threatens to ensnare innocent bystanders such as his girlfriend, Nicky (LAURA WHEELWRIGHT). One senior cop, Nathan Leckie (GUY PEARCE), must lure J into the police fold and then shepherd him through a complex minefield of witness protection, corrupt cops, slippery lawyers and a paranoid and vengeful underworld.
Much like Newton's laws of motion, my law of "Guy Pearce does not appear in bad movies" continues to be unbreakable. JoBlo's resident reviewer, Chris Bumbray, gave ANIMAL KINGDOM a 10/10 in his review.
ANIMAL KINGDOM Blu-ray and DVD Special Features Include:
* Audio commentary with director David Michôd
* Creating Animal Kingdom
* Q&A with director David Michôd and actors Jacki Weaver and James Frecheville
