Synopsis
Two time Academy Award® winner Michael Caine (The Presige, The Dark Knight) stars as Harry Brown, an ordinary law-abiding citizen, who just wanted to quietly live out his retirement. But in this desolate urban wasteland, the residents live in fear of the drug dealers who rule the streets…and the police offer little protection. When Inspector Alice Frampton (Emily Mortiner, Shutter Island) can’t convict the thugs who killed Harry’s best friend, he decides to take the law into his own hands. Using skills honed as a Royal Marine, Harry begins to serve his own brand of justice, and no one will stop him.
