With his wife having recently passed away and his best friend bullied daily by the drug-peddling gangs on his estate, aged ex-Royal Marine Harry Brown (Caine) decides to come out of retirement to clean up the neighbourhood…[Empire]

An austere low budget British art house crime movie with an assured central performance by Caine. It was difficult to enjoy because of its bleakness but it told an absorbing story.
