Harry Brown is a 2009 revenge film starring Michael Caine as a man who decides to take action against the thugs who have taken over his neighborhood. And he does. Like all Michael Caine films, this one is worth seeing, but I think you need to like Caine. Of course, who doesn't!

Oh, I saw this some time ago. I cheered when the old guy put up a fight; it had that underdog-takes-revenge feel to it, like a nerd-is-bitten-by-insect-and-gets-superpowers-and-bitchslaps-his-bulliers movie, that everyone likes who ever wished they could stand their ground more successfully (and who hasn´t?), I thought. But way, way darker, and much more real. And, as you say, who does not like Michael Caine?
ReplyDeletei agree. it is satisfying when the "little guy" hands it to the bad guys.
