More than fiction - inspired by real story


I've always heard that Animal Kingdom was a good move but was reluctant to watch until now. This movie was inspired by true events in Melbourne surrounding an actual random killing of 2 young policemen and the crime family implicated (see Walsh Street murders) which I remember because of how senseless and upsetting it was. This is probably why this dramatisation seems so true to life and well acted/written. Similar with Snowtown (see Snowtown murders). Does this make you see this movie in a different light?

I had no idea this was loosely based on real events, but as far as i'm concerned, it doesn't add or remove anything to how good this movie was in my view. 8/10.

But i agree completely with "this dramatisation seems so true to life and well acted/written."

It's really a slow-burner, but it's worth the wait and the attention.
