A hard partying family of hedonistic criminals, headed by their mother “Smurf” (Ellen Barkin), takes in their young newphew “J” (Finn Cole) after his mother dies of a heroin overdose. The Cody clan eventually lets “J” in on their family secret and together they pull off heists large and small.

“Baz” (Scott Speedman) acts as the most experienced member and shot-caller, second only to “Pope” (Shawn Hatosy) who spent some time behind bars and is slowly adjusting to life on the outside. Craig (Ben Robson) is the middle son who loves surfing and has some secrets. Deran (Jake Weary) was the youngest until “J” joined the family.

The story mostly takes place in a Southern California beach community and includes some great action sequences and a lot of adrenaline junkie outdoor activities.

If you love movies like Point Break, you’re sure to enjoy Animal Kingdom from TNT.

The good stuff:

Ellen Barkin’s performance as a ruthless matriarch is deep and powerful… and a little creepy.
Shawn Hatosy delivers a powerful performance and creates some great tense moments.
Finn Cole is an impressive newcomer and we look forward to seeing more great performances.
