Harry Brown

Michael Caine can kill me any time. First because you can tell he really didn't want to kill me. We are just all victims of circumstance, mate, nothing personal. And secondly, he would cooly inform me as I was dying that "You Sir, did not maintain your weapon." See, I'd not only be killed but get a valuable gun safety tip.

Harry Brown is about an older gentleman who saw time in war and wants to put that all behind him. But, like in the Godfather films, they just keep dragging him back. In this case it is because of young punks running around thinking they own the streets. Well they don't and after a friend of Harry gets off'd it's time to show them what an old war dog knows. Before you know it the cops are investigating as well, but they more want to keep to their preconceived ideas on what is going on.

This is a good taunt little thriller that is lean and mean. Of course the star of the show is Mr. Caine is is as wonderful as always. Not to gush, but I'd watch him read the phone book. He's lucky he's a brit or I'd petition he run for the presidency. We've already had one actor, why not now a good one?

Any hoo, definitely give it a watch and this would be a good double feature with grand torino!!!!!
