Standing Up
Michael Caine is the title character in Harry Brown, a widower living in a bad neighborhood in south London. Harry keeps to himself and avoids the local kids and their violence and drug deals. He plays chess with his friend Len (David Bradley), or the two get a pint at the local pub (run by Liam Cunningham), but when Len is killed by a group of street kids, Harry stops being afraid and starts taking action. Though he's never talked about his history in the Royal Marines, Harry's no stranger to violence, and almost no one suspects a senior citizen could be responsible for the escalating violence on the streets. With Emily Mortimer. On DVD and Blu Ray.
