Film Review - Harry Brown (2009)


Harry Brown stars Michael Caine as Harry Brown, a retired man who lives in a rundown area of London that is run rampant by violent youth gangs, but when one gang murders his best friend played by David Bradley, Harry decides to take matters into his own hands.

Harry Brown is a dark and atmospheric film anchored very nicely by Caine, those with a light stomach should not watch this movie as the MA15+ rating is justified as there are scenes of people getting savagely killed and high on drugs, one character looked like Gollum from Lord of the Rings after a 3 day binge, but overall I don't think that it matched last year's Gran Torino which starred Clint Eastwood who also directed it, that film was great whereas this was okay.

2 out of 5 for Harry Brown.
