Bronson. Deathwish. Yes. Michael Caine? Hmm.. we'll see.
Harry Brown is already winning praise for being the Brit's answer to Eastwood's Gran Torino and while it looks like it may deliver the goods, we're still on the fence in terms of Caine's ability to turn on the surly. I think it's because he's been turning in so many cuddly-old-guy roles lately and we want Get Carter back.
Synnopsis:
An elderly ex-serviceman and widower looks to avenge his best friend's murder by doling out his own form of justice.
Harry Brown is the feature directorial debut from Daniel Barber, whose only other film is a short called The Tonto Woman. It stars Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer, Iain Glen and Amy Steel.
