One Of The Dumbest Movies Ive Ever Seen
SPOILERS
How was this movie funded? I absolutely loved Animal Kingdom, but cannot understand why the director decided to take on such garbage. Writing was bland and never created any intimacy between the characters. Directing was good, a bit slow for my taste, had the writing been good, directing would have followed. Acting was good by Guy Pearce, I'm assuming Pattinson was suppose to be mentally retarded, if he was, he was adequate, if not, he was terrible. Music was incredibly pretentious and derivative, would have only been saved by once again, good writing. Editing was adequate considering the terrible writing. All great film starts with great or inventive writing. Practicality was thrown out the window in order for plot to exist and that is bad writing. Pearce could have simply asked for the dog in the beginning of the film, and I'm sure the "3 people" wouldn't have gave a *beep* yet a midget and 4 other men had to die in order to bury a dead dog. Why this film is getting so much praise on this board is beyond me, but the people who do like it, I could never trust your taste in anything. 6.4/10, more like 3/10. Because i loved Animal Kingdom, I Hope Michod's next film turns out well, but if not, at least he can retire knowing he made 1 good film, which is more than most can say.
