Harry Brown

Harry Brown is a widowed former Royal Marine living on a housing estate in London where drug dealing and gang violence have become part of daily life. He keeps to himself, warning his old friend Leonard to do the same, until Leonard is beaten to death by local youths and the police fail to bring anyone to justice. With nothing left to lose, Harry stops avoiding confrontation and begins taking his own form of revenge on the criminals around him. A young detective inspector, Alice Frampton, is investigating the area's violence and becomes involved in the case.

The film is directed by Daniel Barber, his first feature, followed by The Keeping Room in 2014. Gary Young wrote the screenplay, and Matthew Vaughn, Matthew Brown and Keith Bell produced. Michael Caine leads the cast as Harry Brown, with Emily Mortimer as DI Alice Frampton and Iain Glen, Lee Oakes, Liam Cunningham and Sean Harris among the supporting roles. The production is British, made on a budget of 7 million dollars, and its worldwide box office of 10 million dollars represents a modest return. On TMDB it holds a rating of 6.8 out of 10 from around 1,200 votes, while the film critics' rating stands at 6 out of 10 from 127 reviews, indicating a mixed professional response alongside a somewhat warmer audience score.
