5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent
By chelios1981 VINE VOICE on 3 Dec. 2009
Format: DVD
A very, very grim look at a London council estate, full of thuggish hoodies doing drug deals and fighting in the street, Harry brown is downbeat in all aspects. The camera work and lighting are a mix of shakey hand held, and monotone colours.

Michael Caine gives a pitch perfect performance as a quiet pensioner living among this hellish estate, watching from the windows of his flat the chaos around him. His quiet existence is shattered when his freind is beaten to death by the young thugs. Not long after he is confronted by one young scumbag and uses his old military skills to defend himself. From this point on it really is a case of Caine getting a gun and exacting revenge on the gang, eventually leading to a tension filled conclusion where few survive.

Whilst the subject matter is very grim, the film is so well constructed in story, characterisation, performances and direction, that it is an enjoyable movie experience. Be warned though this is full of very graphic violence, and bad language. Most people draw a comparison to this and Death wish, but it is actually closer in terms of look, feel and story of the Sean Bean thriller Outlaw.

5.0 out of 5 starsCaine's best for along time
By PJ Rankine TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 22 Dec. 2009
Format: DVD
This is British cinema at its best. Michael Caine plays Harry Brown; a widowed ex-marine, who lives alone on one of South London's sink estates and keeps himself to himself. One day his one and only friend is murdered by the feral youths who run the estate and something in Harry snaps. He says early on that his military life was locked away and forgotten when he met his late wife and now it comes back with a vengeance as he seeks justice in his own way. Caine is outstanding as Harry Brown and portrays perfectly the hopelessness and loneliness of so many old people in this country today. No punches are pulled in displaying the futility of life on this estates either. Having worked in places like this it was very familiar and discomforting. When you watch this film in the comfort of your comfy living room remember that thousands of people live like this. This film doesn't glamourise violence and gun play in the way of so many American films but shows the desperate lengths that the hero goes to for justice when the police can't or won't get it for him. When Harry Brown gets a gun its because he sees the enemy has them, not because its a natural thing for him to do. If Caine doesn't get at least an Oscar nomination for this then there ain't no justice there either.

2.0 out of 5 starsGo Get 'em 'Arry
By Eddie on 2 Mar. 2015
Format: Amazon Video
`One day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets'. Remember that line (or at least something close)? Well here's our own rain, pouring down in the form of `Arry Brown, AKA Michael Caine, and it's here to wash the scum off our own streets. These particular scum are arrogant, nasty hoodies who lurk in an underpass close to Harry's block of flats and from there he can watch the sordid goings on at the entrance.

There's a short opener which is both horrific and cathartic in equal doses. This sets up the film and appears as a précis of the complete story - bad guys get their comeuppance - but ultimately that notion isn't as strong as the film's commentary on the state of our own Land of Hope and Glory and on the morality of Harry's actions which constitute its heart. In the first part of the film we get to know Harry pretty well, or at least as much as we need to, but this belies what is to come as the film slowly goes downhill. Harry's life is pretty grim, having recently lost his wife, and it becomes grimmer when he then loses his only mate to the scum in the underpass. From here things take a darker turn and the film spirals out of control like the events which it depicts.

Harry is well portrayed by the aging Caine who demonstrates his ability not only as an actor but as a bit of an action hero too. Conveniently Harry was once in the marines, which sets him up with a few skills that would be beyond any ordinary pensioner (thankfully we are spared any martial arts moves although that might haved upped the entertainment value). And so the killing spree starts.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDeath Wish, Terence Davies style
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 19 Jun. 2014
Format: Blu-ray
If Terence Davies remade Death Wish, the result would probably look a lot like Harry Brown, a surprisingly decent and even more surprisingly restrained and naturalistic yet often artfully composed OAP vigilante movie. Michael Caine is the former Marine living on a rundown sink estate, his hospitalised wife unable to recognise or even acknowledge him anymore, his terrified best friend murdered by a gang of hoodies who have been making his life hell. With nothing left to live for himself, Harry goes on the revenge trail – like Charles Bronson in the first film before he became an invincible superhero initially by accident but subsequently by design. Yet the film never celebrates his violence or turns his targets into cartoon villains, creating a convincing portrait of the damned and the forgotten feeding off the scraps of society’s underbelly and offering a more ambiguous take on Harry’s occasionally clumsy quest for vengeance. There’s some genuine unease in his encounter with a pair of stoned but still intimidating gun dealers and even the frequently ridiculous Ben Drew is never allowed to veer into his unintentionally comic Ali G-for-real persona.

While the lowlives are convincingly real, the police investigation doesn’t fare so well. Emily Mortimer is more credible than her colleagues and the inhouse politics taking precedence over solving the killings certainly chimes with the Met’s tendency to pick and choose which crimes they’ll get brownie points for investigating of late, but the execution – particularly Iain Glen’s clumsy scenes - seems a little too stereotypical and on the nose compared to the scenes on the estate. Nonetheless it’s a quietly compelling feature debut for director Daniel Barber that holds out some hope that his upcoming Civil war movie The Keeping Room will be more than just the rehash of The Beguiled that it sounds.

A relatively think extras package includes director's commentary, 7 deleted and extended scenes and music video.
