電影的開(kāi)頭,面無(wú)表情的少年Josh說(shuō),"I didn't realized at that time,but they're all scared,even if they didn't show."電影的最后,富有生氣的警探Leckie說(shuō),"you'll come unstuck.I've got a felling about it,I think you do,too.'' 過(guò)去做過(guò)什么不重要,電影里也只在片頭一小段告訴我們uncles過(guò)去的勾當(dāng),重要的是以后怎么生活。強(qiáng)者相互爭(zhēng)斗,弱者尋找強(qiáng)者尋求庇護(hù),無(wú)論如何,都生活在恐懼中。
Welcome to the Melbourne underworld. Following the death of his mother, seventeen year-old Joshua 'J' Cody (newcomer James Frencheville) moves in with his hitherto-estranged family, under the watchful eye of his doting grandmother, Janine 'Smurf' Cody (Jacki Weaver), and her three criminal sons - the Cody boys.
Eldest son and armed robber, Andrew 'Pop' Cody (Ben Mendelsohn) is in hiding from a gang of renegade detectives. Middle brother Craig (Sullivan Stapleton) is a successful but volatile drug dealer, whilst the youngest Cody, Darren (Luke Ford), na?vely) follows his elder brothers' lead. Just as Pope's business partner and best friend, Barry Brown (Joel Edgerton), decides that he wants our of the game, recognising that their days of old-school banditry are all but over, tensions between the family and the police explode.
J finds himself at the centre of a cold-blooded revenge plot that turns his family upside down and which throws him directly into the path of senior homicide detective, Nathan Leckie (Guy Pearce).

始終讓人驚喜的電影,對(duì)角色心理刻畫(huà)非常到位,情感足夠細(xì)膩,幾處轉(zhuǎn)折都處理得很不錯(cuò),讓影片始終保持著緊繃壓抑的情緒,開(kāi)頭和結(jié)尾互為呼應(yīng)且同樣給力。同比家族犯罪類的?城中大盜?,我更喜歡這部來(lái)自澳洲驚喜。本片獲得2010圣丹斯世界電影評(píng)委會(huì)劇情片大獎(jiǎng)。
異常沉重的一部影片。。結(jié)尾的那一槍刺痛人心。
最后一槍減一星
其實(shí)是為了那首歌去看的。。。沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)這么文藝的犯罪片
把犯罪片拍成文藝片還不真是誰(shuí)都能干的事情
半小時(shí)放棄
不知道看了什么。
無(wú)論臺(tái)譯《生存法則》還是港譯《野獸家族》都比《動(dòng)物王國(guó)》更為貼切。全片彌漫的壓抑感讓人窒息,盡管沒(méi)有傳統(tǒng)黑幫片的追車啊暴力啊什么的,各個(gè)人物背后確少不了令人毛骨悚然的暗流涌動(dòng)。澳洲英語(yǔ)挺性感嘛。
沒(méi)有看明白,不加以評(píng)論。
獨(dú)樹(shù)一幟的感覺(jué)
隱忍而發(fā)、緊張刺激,可不是拿來(lái)亂用滴!
好悶的片子……又悶又悶又長(zhǎng)
整體竟然不錯(cuò)呀;這孩子是有多會(huì)演小變態(tài)
悶死
鏡頭很好看,但是情節(jié)一般。其實(shí)貪婪和暴戾的我們才像是動(dòng)物。
本片只是用刀將社會(huì)的一角輕輕劃開(kāi),向你平靜的展現(xiàn)出這文明世界底層犯罪之殘酷。是做人,還是做動(dòng)物?這是人類最后的選擇。
扯淡的劇情,扯淡的人物,扯淡的司法,扯淡的黑幫,扯淡的家族,扯淡的社會(huì),扯淡的世界,扯淡的電影。
有些拖沓,不過(guò)整部影片看下來(lái)還是很給力!
黑道家庭的生存法則,Jackie Weaver的氣場(chǎng)好足
不健全的心智,食肉動(dòng)物的王國(guó)——表面上看似不溫不火的一部影片,實(shí)則消極中飽含力量,導(dǎo)演對(duì)于節(jié)奏的掌控與人物的刻畫(huà)很有自己的特色,但影片要能壓縮一下時(shí)長(zhǎng)會(huì)顯得更好。原聲配樂(lè)與Jackie Weaver是兩個(gè)值得稱贊的要點(diǎn)?!铩铩铩?/p>
