Dave Calhoun
It's not unique, but as a distillation of a well-worn genre, it's admirable.
Rene Rodriguez
The film establishes a menacing, unsparing mood that never wavers.
Bill Goodykoontz
The naturalistic style Michod employs adds to the sense of dread. Is there no way out of this existence? To whom would it appeal?
Tom Long
Dark and mesmerizing.
Amy Biancolli
It's a remarkable film: gritty, gut-churning, thrillingly acted.
J. R. Jones
Writer-director David Michod creates a densely textured moral universe that makes good on his metaphoric title.

Animal Kingdom is a lean, patient crime thriller about one kid's transition from prey to predator.

Confidential, 1998), Academy Award® nominees WINONA RYDER (Best Actress in a Leading Role, Little Women, 1995) and MICKEY ROURKE (Best Actor in a Leading Role, The Wrestler, 2009) star in an interweaving tale, which unfolds in Los Angeles in the decadent 80's: a city ruled by addictions of every type - from sex, to drugs, to power - where youth is wasted, where love is fleeting, where every night is a headlong rush to the next orgy of sensation. Sooner or later, the party has to end ...and the hangover is bound to be a killer. (Original Title - The Informers (2009)) © 2009 Informers, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Director John Cassavetes, known for his unique approach to filmmaking, creates a powerful, tension-filled story. An accountant (Buck Henry) is in possession of a ledger which could put a number of mob bosses behind bars for a long time. Before he is killed, however, he manages to entrust the ledger and his son to a neighbor, Gloria, for protection. Gloria reluctantly takes the kid on the run while keeping the mob at bay, sometimes at the point of a gun. Finally, tired of running, she decides to confront them head on! © 1980 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
