Harry Brown

I saw this film on 23rd November at Stratford Picture House


What an excellent film. For the first fifteen minutes I thought this was going to be a depressing, look-at-the-dregs-of-society semi documentary. Then everything that had happened was pulled together in a very tight and consistent plot. All the characters were convincing. Michael Caine was superb and Emily Mortimer was a very believable detective inspector.

The performance in Stratford was not well attended although I got the impression several of the audience modelled themslves on the on-screen characters.
