Review of Harry Brown (2009) by Timo S — 07 Dec 2011
The film offers a lot of strong, graphic and gritty images that seem intended to provide an accurate depiction of Britain today. And though it's true the film's harsh reality and occurrences are gripping (at first), everything loses steam after the first act.
Michael Caine provides a serviceable performance (pun not intended), but the film's progression and development don't seem to do his character's potential justice. And while the film does unfold in a slow manner, it could have definitely benefitted from an extra 30 minutes to let everything unfold a far more fluent manner.
