The British Dirty Harry

[Patrick]

Just bumped into Michael Caine's new film......


"Set in modern-day Britain, HARRY BROWN follows one mans (Sir Michael Caine) journey through a chaotic world where drugs are the currency of the day and guns run the streets.

A modest law-abiding citizen, Harry Brown is a retired Marine and a widower who lives alone on a depressed housing estate. His only company is his best friend Leonard (David Bradley). When Leonard is murdered by a gang of thugs, Harry feels compelled to act and is forced to dispense his own brand of justice. As he bids to clean up the run-down estate where he lives, his actions bring him into conflict with the police, led by investigating officer DCI Frampton (Emily Mortimer) and Charlie Creed-Miles."

This could be Caine at his best.

I look forward to an invasion on the streets of Guerilla Grandads!

Michael Caine as a tough guy - at HIS age? He was born in 1933.

Presumably we can now expect to see a 76-year-old actress in any film role, let alone one meant for a 30-year-old.

This is everything that's wrong with the film industry nowadays. Run by men, they refuse to see that an action role is preposterous for a man in his 70s.
