Harry Brown

No sounds ineresting though

is a good film bit like grand tarino but more violent

yes saw it the other night. Gritty portrayal of life on a sink estate in South London - gangs of youths terrorising the neighbourhood and drug dealing and stabbings , followed by Michael Caine doing a Deathwish style cleaning up of the streets.

Some bits of the plot continuity seemed a bit lazy though. Harry was leaving knives and guns all over the place which he had handled with bare hands - even the most basic crime scene would bag this up as evidence I think.

Also he had a magic teleport device that took him first to some deserted wasteland to put a bullet through a car windscreen, though why he knew to go there is a mystery. Then teleported him and a captive back to a burnt out flat, bypassing the hoodies who hang out opposite some open ground in the underpass. Finally another teleport to the underpass also with the captive, but again no-one saw him coming - either he was approaching from the other side of the road (which you can't get to), or he went out in the open air overlooked by all the flats.

I'm going to see it this evening. :(

Very bleak and depressing, having said that I enjoyed it. Harry's descent into the murky world of gang culture asks a few questions about the morality of his actions.
