    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sir Michael Caine saw a lot of himself in the character of Harry Brown, they're both combat veterans (Harry is a Marine who served in Northern Ireland, Caine served in the British Army during the Korean war), and Caine lived in the same area that Brown does. It was things like these that drew him to this movie.
    • Goofs
      At the canal, D.I. Frampton says to D.S. Hickock that she smelled cordite on Harry Brown's coat, implying him having fired a gun. Cordite is obsolete: it's no longer produced. This is a forgivable mistake though, because although cordite production ended in the 1960s, the term is still used generically in the UK for gun powders.
    • Quotes

      Frampton: It's not Northern Ireland Harry.

      Harry Brown: No it's not. Those people were fighting for something; for a cause. To them out there, this is just entertainment.

    brutal revenge gem
    Daniel Barber, so far I have never heard of this director which is normal, this is his first major flick. And what a great movie this is. it's a revenge flick but as real and brutal as it can get. It's funny that I as a horror geek was recommended Harry Brown. But I didn't regret it watching it and I must even say that I got goosebumps by some scene's. And people who know me do know that I can take the goriest pieces without a problem. But again, it is really the reality and the brutality that makes the movie and of course Sir Michael Caine. Admit it, he always has something macabre over him but he's now in his 70's (°1933)and still can deliver the creeps. His acting is surely an Oscar worthy. But also worth mentioning is Sean Harris. he really is believable, in fact all hoodies are believable and of course the language used and the dialect gives it also its reality. This is an all points an excellent movie. Not in Rambo or Arnie style with a lot of shooting but just a straight in your face flick, big thumbs up to the director, Sir Caine and the whole bunch involved.
