✔ Introduction

Hello Friends, I hope you are doing fine and are having a good time on bitlanders. Today I have come up again with my new blog with the title of "Hollywood Movie Review - American Animals". Friends, this blog is about a recently released Hollywood Crime and Drama Genres film "American Animals". The story of this movie revolves around four young boys who were mainly American University students but wanted to do something special in their lives as they thought their life was very boring. They plan to steal very precious literature books in order to make millions of dollars in a short span of time. This movie was a United Kingdom and the United States of America co-production. The movie was directed by Bart Layton, whereas it was produced by Derrin Schlesinger and Mary Jane Skalski. The screen play for the movie was also written by Bart Layton and the movie was produced under the supervision of Film4 Productions, a British Film production company.

You’d call this heist film un-fucking-believable, except that American Animals really is rooted in fact – that is, whenever the British documentarian Bart Layton, in a mightily impressive narrative feature debut, doesn’t mess around too much. “This is not based on a true story,” reads a title card at the start … before the words “not based on” slowly vanish from the screen.
