Director Sam Kelly’s debut film is about the history of the country’s notorious gangs and orphanages.
The first of three stories begins in 1965 when nine-year-old Danny (Ole Presling) has to go to a kids’ home and try some bad things there. But he found a life-long friend in Musa (Lotima Bumi).
Together they protect each other – and fight brutally against their enemies! Violent scenes suggested by the two trailers make your blood cool!
In 1972, at the second level, Danny became the leader of the so-called Savage Gang. Even in 1989, as an adult (played by Jake Ryan), he still held a strong position and was feared due to his aggressive approach.
For strangers who are not like New Zealand with their exotic nature and hobbies. But it was and is true. Also in Wellington, where the movie was shot. Today, the country’s most famous gang is active there: “Mongrel Mob” has criminal fingers everywhere in the game.
Be it drug trafficking, extortion or prostitution: you can find it in New Zealand too! Robbery and even murder are also linked to bullying.

Therefore, this group drama deals not only with a portion of the dark past, but also of the country’s present.
No wonder this raw work was shown at major festivals in Busan, London and Shanghai before the Corona pandemic, as is known, frustrated the world of cinema.
“Savage” has also been praised in reviews from major specialty media such as The Hollywood Reporter. Unfortunately, it is not yet known when the tape will come to Germany. He had to go with the devil, if no lender was found in this country!
After all, these structures have always fascinated many people.
Additionally, the chemistry between lead actors Ryan (“The Great Gatsby”) and John Toy (Polge in “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies”, Corso in “Solo: A Star Wars Story”, Cal in “Fast” & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw ” ) OK.
Film fans interested in the genre should jot down this drama.
