A powerful crime drama with a stellar cast and set in the notorious Melbourne underworld - Animal Kingdom is the film everybody is talking about, and it's coming to DVD and Blu-Ray this month with a host of special features and extra material.

Following the death of his mother, seventeen year-old Joshua 'J' Cody (newcomer James Frecheville) 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, 'Pope' (Ben Mendelsohn), Craig (Sullivan Stapleton) and Darren (Luke Ford).

When J finds himself at the centre of a cold-blooded revenge plot and with only a family in tatters to turn to, he is thrown directly into the path of senior homicide detective, Nathan Leckie (Guy Pearce) and is forced to choose his place in this brutal life inside the animal kingdom. Will he be one of the strong ones, or will he be one of the weak ones?
