I'm not sure if many have heard of this film, which is currently playing at Sundance right now, but it looks damn interesting and has been receiving rave reviews left and right. There are even comparisons to Francis Ford Coppola, Tarantino and Scorsese's work, and it's been noted that 'The Godfather 2' was the director's favorite film, and this film supposedly resonates that.

A crime family led by a cunning and evil mother/grandmother (a knockout Jacki Weaver) who has her four sons killing and stealing all over Melbourne. Joel Edgerton (who just played opposite Cate Blanchett in “A Streetcar Named Desire” in Brooklyn, Luke Ford and Ben Mendelsohn are the terrifying sons. Eighteen-year-old James Frecheville, the Australian Channing Tatum, is the grandson who could be the family’s undoing. Director David Michod said his favorite movie was “The Godfather Part 2″ and it shows.

Check out the teaser trailer here. The movie hits Australian screens this May.
