Harry Brown (2009)

I can't be the first, or the last, to say "The British Gran Torino". Meant as a total compliment, of course. The similarities are many, with the most striking being an outstanding performance by a seasoned actor in the lead role. It's what elevates both of these revenge flicks to a much higher level.

I thoroughly enjoyed Harry Brown. It plays out rather plausibly. By the time the baddies get what's coming to them, the viewer is practically wet with anticipation for their demise. Hooray for old guys with guns!
