The movie is about a man called Harry Brown (played brilliantly by Michael Caine) a ex-serviceman who lives on a run-down housing estate where a gang has taken over the area, and a subway near his home is where they all hang out.
Harry is a quiet man, doesn't like talking about his past, he has lost his daughter and early into the movie he loses his wife who was very ill in hospital. Things then get worse when his friend Leonard gets killed in the subway.
Harry goes through the gang one by one and it gets pretty violent, in one part of the movie Harry grabs one of the kids tied to a chair and tortures them for answers using a length of rubber hose.
The police are also hot on his tail too, DI Alice Frampton suspects him of killing the gang members off.
It's quite a gritty movie, and there was more violence in this than I had expected, but it's not a bad thing as the violence makes the film feel very real.
I was highly impressed with this movie, it was a lot better than I thought it would be, and certainly a must watch movie. I'll give it 8/10
Harry Brown hits UK cinemas on 11th November and is rated 18.
