Harry Brown. A vigilante with a point to prove.


Harry Brown epitomizes the state of the youth culture in the UK today. The film opens with a ruthless yet insightful view into drugs and gang culture that is currently sweeping the country. This deep and meaningful opening scene grips you from the start leaving suspense throughout.

Michael Caine stars as a lonely pensioner struggling to survive on a council estate overrun by restless youths including Noel, played by the ever talented ‘Plan B’.

With his dying wife in hospital, and best friend being tormented by the youths he himself becomes a recluse out of terror. With the police unable to step in, eventually frustration and fear runs to boiling point and ex-marine Caine decides enough is enough and its time to take matters into his own hands.
