Harry Brown

A bit unpleasant. Social commentary only slightly less convincing than our elderly hero's lurch into being a vigilante. First half ok. Caine is sad and old and playing chess and watching nasty basts through his curtains. Then Harry Potter's caretaker gets offed and Harry Brown gets grrr and does stab-stab and shoot-shoot. Skinny weed farmer man was freaky. Made the mistake of watching a minute or two of the special features. Caine thinks we're all partly responsible for 'broken Britain'. Uhuh. He must get a great view of it flying in from his holiday home in the Bahamas. Which he bought with the money he got from Jaws 4. I think I'd rather watch that than this. Oh and the poster is a wrong thing too. Look:

Cool isn't it? Really cool. Look at the monochrome druggy kids with guns, they're cool. Especially the one with her girl legs out. Phwoar, you need to see this cool film lads. And the logo's cool coz it's a bit British. Maybe it's just me - I am becoming a thoroughly miserable sod after all - but trying to sell this as the new Trainspotting leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. Like cucumber. Christ I hate cucumber.
