ANIMAL KINGDOM

(Australian)  Talk about your dysfunctional family!  This story opens with the death of 17-year-old Josh's mother.  But he really doesn't seem to care.  He is sitting on their sofa next to his mother's lifeless body, non-chalantly watching Australia's version of Deal Or No Deal, waiting for the paramedics to show up.  When they do, Josh casually mentions that his mother OD'd on heroin.
So off goes Josh to live with his grandmother.  Also living with granny (Smurf) are Josh's four unusually handsome uncles.  None seem to particularly care that their daughter/sister has left the planet.
Well, this is no ordinary family.  This is a family of professional criminals.  They do bank jobs, and granny (Smurf, remember) is the leader of the pack -- the "moll," if you will, conjuring up memories of old James Cagney gangster movies.
THE GODFATHER comes to mind here, too.  The loyalty of the family, the head of the family (like Vito Corleone in THE GODFATHER) the crazy uncle (like Sonny), the wimpy brother who is doing it only because "that's what they do" (like Fredo), and even the young buck drawn into the fold whether he likes it or not (like Michael).
Things quickly go awry when the local cops kill two of the uncles.  Smurf and the gang set out for revenge, a cop gets killed, and Josh becomes a player.  All Josh wants is to be a normal kid.  He even gets a girlfriend..  But now he's in the family business, and has to conduct himself as so.  He has to keep secrets.  He has to participate in the shenanigans.
Meanwhile, the cops know what went down, but have to gather evidence before they can make any arrests..  One of the cops zeros in on Josh to try to get him to crack and spill the beans.
It's a story of who will remain loyal, who can or can't be trusted, and who can outsmart whom -- even within the family.  It even gets to the point where Smurf is willing to "whack" one of her own flesh and blood if need be.
This movie is quirky to be fun, yet serious enough to be disturbing.  It moves along at a brisk pace and keeps you guessing and surprised at what will happen next.  Good movie.  In limited release, it is definitely worth seeing if it is playing anywhere in your area.
