Formally, it’s ok, the problem is that Animal Kingdom feels as if it wanted to be a good gangster flick. Almost every sentence, every look and every scene feels that they are there only because someone wanted to make a universally good gangster movie – it all felt too cynical and forced. There’s no creativity, only an effort to fit in a category. It does work in some way, of course, but I’m not a fan.

I guess it's because I've seen too many similarly-themed crime movies lately, but I just didn't enjoy this one. The acting is good, no question about it, but what's the point of me watching a movie with characters that are easy to hate, when there's nothing about them that I want to watch? And in the end, even the story failed to pull me in.
