Harry Brown (2009)

Harry Brown is the story of an elderly widower and former marine reaching his breaking point when his best friend is murdered. Violent, rough and painting a true to life picture of society as it is today.

Michael Caine does well in the title role and also Emily Mortimer give a good performance. Several of the young gang members are also very realistic in their parts, doing a lot to help darkening the picture.

A movie well worth its time, while there's still something lacking in both story, editing and maybe especially when it comes to the police operations. It takes away from what it could have been, but there is still few and far apart doing these kind of pictures better.
