About this movie

Two time Academy Award® winner* MICHAEL CAINE (The Prestige, The Dark Knight) stars as Harry Brown. An ordinary, law-abiding citizen, who just wanted to quietly live out his retirement. But in this desolate urban wasteland, the residents live in fear of the drug dealers who rule the streets...and the police offers little protection. When Inspector Alice Frampton (EMILY MORTIMER, Shutter Island) can't convict the thugs who killed Harry's best friend, he decides to take the law into his own hands. Using skills honed as a Royal Marine, Harry begins to serve his own brand of justice-- and no one will stop him. * Best Actor in a Supporting Role for THE CIDER HOUSE RULES (1999) and HANNAH and HER SISTERS (1986).

Ratings and reviews

Caine is like the British tom hanks... I can watch anything he does. This story is gripping and winds you around in just the right way. In today's crumbling urban dream, This film resonates. An old man has had enough... Get your walking stick, time to beat up the youngins.

If you haven't seen this movie , then you haven't lived!

Too much drama and hence, it's too boring. Btw, the whole movie is all about playing chess? 😒😒😒
