American Animals trailer shows off a fratboy heist


American Animals (2018) | Official US Trailer HD

There’s something about the “people who have absolutely no business committing a crime try to commit it anyway” flavor of dark comedy that makes it one I can never get enough of, and with how stellar last year’s I, Tonya was, I’m certainly hankering for more.

American Animals looks like it’s going to fill that hole in my stomach. With all of its “This isn’t based on a true story. It actually happened” fluff aside, the style and tone look like they’ll strike for something that should be at turns thrilling and fun to watch.


American Animals will hit select theaters on June 1.
