Harry Brown – best Michael Caine film I’ve seen for a very long time. Set in a British housing estate, Harry’s mate is being harassed by the hooligans who run the estate. When they try to set his flat on fire thats the last straw, he goes down to the subway they hang around in and confronts them with a very large knife. They murder him, filming the event on mobile phones. Harry, an ex-marine, realises the police are ineffective and are not going to solve the murder, decides to take matters into his own hands. This film not only gives a realistic taste of the fear of living in a British urban environment but also shows the weakness of an elderly man who once was so strong attempting to deal with the threat of younger men – having killed some of his targets Harry tries to chase one that is getting away … but collapses after running a short distance. Harry Brown is not an invincible hero – he is very accessible. This was a gripping film, filmed with ‘British realism’ – I loved it!
