How many times has somebody suggested a ‘Great’ new film to you, which when you finally get to see it leaves you feeling let down. So when my father in-law suggested ‘Harry Brown’ the latest from Michael Caine , I thought I’d give it a go. Not normally in a bad film, with the exception of ‘Jaws 3D’, Sir Michael didn’t disappoint.
A truly gritty portrayal of an aging ex-marine who’s best friend is bullied and later killed by yobs on an inner city housing estate. Sir Michael brings to the surface all his past military experience from his postings in Northern Ireland to exact a bloody revenge.
As a study of modern life on large inner city estate’s ‘Harry Brown’ is a truly ‘British’ film. A hard hitting moral story of friendship, loyalty and standing up for what you believe in.
Well worth a look!
