Just been to see a preview of Harry Brown, Michael Caine’s new film. It’s good! I went (a free preview) without knowing much about it and I LOVED it!
Caine was fab in it, very believable and proves again that he’s a British gem. The other actors were sublime too, from the fucking freaky drug dealer to wanker youth hard case. A few scenes are heart thumpers and the character acting makes the shitting film.
A London based modern fuck off western where granddad gets balls out even. Many familiarities with Gran Tourino but not the same film, more gritty and certainly a tad more nobbing Tarrantinoesq.
It’s not perfect of course. The plot isnt much thicker than the cinema ticket and the message (if any was intended) was twisted.
However, 8.5/10 easy. Gripping scenes with feeling make you want to go out and shoot the fuckety youths that shouted “Fuck off fatty” when you last walkined into town. Well…. you know what I mean.
Watch it.
