Michael Caine is Harry Brown

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

And Harry Brown is a film that is sort of like a Tarantino remake of Trainspotting (minus the humour and music) and Dirty Harry.
This film is ugly. It's meant to be. A London housing estate is controlled by drug dealers. Young stupid vicious thugs controlled by their dads and uncles. They are all uniformly ugly. Their lives are ugly. The estate is ugly. The people who live there are ugly.
Then it all gets uglier.
I found myself grabbed and dragged into the film.
It doesn't overstay its welcome at around 105 minutes and features possibly the ugliest junkie dealer ever shown on film.

The Statement was a different slant of character for MC . . . - mr grits 16:11:07 05/21/10 (0)

He was far better as Harry Palmer in the neglected classic, "The Ipcress File." nt - tinear 20:55:18 05/20/10 (3)

How is that even relevant? Is he competeing against himself in a career that has MANY superb performances?...NT - musetap 09:55:37 05/21/10 (1)

Sure. It's legitimate to rank a first-rank actor's efforts. nt - tinear 22:04:07 05/21/10 (0)

and should we assume there is at least one film mentioned that you've seen? - dave c 04:46:51 05/21/10 (0)
