Batman's butler finally gets his chance to do some ass-kicking in Harry Brown, a dark, menacing thriller that could be described as a cross between Death Wish and Gran Torino. With a truly grim view of modern England's social decay, the London housing estate where the titular protagonist resides is teeming with gangs, drug dealers and other low-life denizens. A former Royal Marine, Harry lives a quiet life until the day his friend is murdered. The inimitable Michael Caine is expectedly superb as a wrathful avenger.
