This is an excellent crime drama - despite its somewhat uninteresting title - and a perfect vehicle for Michael Caine, who has no need to conceal his true age here. The story concerns one Harry Brown Caine,) a widowed Royal Marines veteran, who had served in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, and now lives in a London housing estate in his old age. After a good friend (Liam Cunningham) is murdered by what appears to be a gang of teenage hoodlums, Harry decides to act on his own in exacting violent revenge on the individual gang members. While it would still be a good picture in black and white, it certainly is enhanced in colour - while Michael Caine's performance, as usual, of top quality.
