HARRY BROWN **

Daniel Barber directed this Crime/Thriller. Watch Preview Cast: Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer, Iain Glen, Jack O'Connell, Liam Cunningham, Amy Steel. Rated R for strong violence and language throughout, drug use and sexual content. Running time is one hour and forty-three minutes.

A modest, law abiding widower's (Caine) only companion and best friend is killed by violent teenagers, causing him to reach his breaking point and seek revenge.A police inspector (Mortimer) figures out Harry's role but is hampered by the legal system and lack of evidence.

It's nice to see Caine in a movie again. While he does a fine job, he's  hampered by a plot that never lets the viewer get really involved. Mortimer is an excellent actress in a role that leaves her with almost no personality. We know there's a back-story to her part, the reason she's doing gang policing, but we never find out what it is. If you're looking for a Charles Bronson DEATH WISH film, you'll be disappointed. Caine is good, and this film is worth watching for that fact alone, but it should have been better.Theatres/Times
