Harry Brown Clip November 4, 2009

Harry Brown will see an icon of cinema return to the big screen in the form of Michael Caine.

It’s already been a good year for the actor with Is Anybody There? and this looks set to continue with what is being called on of the best British movies of 2009.

Set in modern-day Britain, Harry Brown follows one man’s (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.
