The King (2019)

Hal, wayward prince and heir to the English throne, is crowned King Henry V after his tyrannical father dies. Now the young king must navigate palace politics, the war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life.

Great historical drama with great period detail, cinematography, amazing battle scenes and overall good performances - and a twist ending of sorts.

The Rover (2014)

10 years after a global economic collapse, a hardened loner pursues the men who stole his only possession, his car; along the way, he captures one of the thieves' brother, and the duo form an uneasy bond during the dangerous journey.

Extremely well-made and performed doomsday drama is very violent and conveys a bleak world without heart and redemption.

Animal Kingdom (2010)

 

 

A seventeen year-old navigates his survival amongst an explosive criminal family and the detective who thinks he can save him.

 

Intense and at times harrowing study of a criminal family, cast and production succedd in creating a very bleak world.

Maltin***: "Tough, uncomprimising drama always has one more surprise up its sleeve."
