Harry Brown

  Product Description
Set in modern day Britain, Harry Brown follow's one man's journey through a chaotic world where drugs are the currency of the day and guns run the streets. A modest law-abiding citizen, Harry Brown is a retired Marine and a widower who lives alone on a depressed housing estate. His only company is his best friend Leonard (David Bradley). When Leonard is murdered by a gang of thugs, Harry feels compelled to act and is forced to dispense his own brand of justice. As he bids to clean up the run-down estate where he lives, his actions bring him into conflict with the police, led by investigating officer DCI Frampton (Emily Mortimer) and Charlie Creed-Miles.

I did not know what to expect.  

It was a story about Harry Brown (Michael Caine) who lived on an estate which was being 'managed' by a group of thugs. He lost his friend and decided to take his anger out on the people responsible......

What was shocking was that I recognised the thugs from my life in London - they were scary because they were so accurate.

It was a tale of revenge in the modern society but i think you would have to recognise the culture (UK estate) to have any enjoyment from the film.
