Harry Brown
An elderly ex-serviceman and widower looks to avenge his best friend's murder by doling out his own form of justice.
Mister Arn reviewedSeptember 9, 2025
“Harry Brown” finds Michael Caine delivering a haunting, restrained performance as a widowed pensioner turned reluctant vigilante, a kind of elder’s version of “Death Wish”. The film simmers with dread, its bursts of violence hitting hard when they arrive. The finale leans into conventional action, but the underlying portrait of aging, loneliness, and society’s neglect of its elderly still feels uncomfortably relevant, especially as you grow older yourself.
