Best pro 2-A movie I have seen...

[braz007]

I have to admit I didn't expect much from this movie, since it was made in the UK and only had one "big name" actor in it. However I was pleasantly surprised. This film really illustrated how the ignorance of so called "gun-control" can cripple a community.

The movie I am referring to is called "Harry Brown" and is a great rental (for only a $1) from Redbox.

I will let you know upfront that this is a pretty dark movie with lots of reference to drugs and sex, but is well worth it for the message. I just thank god every day that I live in the United States and in a state that respects our right to protect ourselves.

A British version of Death Wish.

I will put it on my "to watch" list.

 

[Blue Tile Spook]

I like Michael Caine's movies. I'll have to look for this one.

The preview for this looked AMAZING! I'm going to see if I can grab it from a local Redbox soon. Thanks for the reminder!

You failed to maintain your weapon.

Not a bad line. That looks like it would be good. Michael Caine is a good actor, I like watching his movies. Will have to remember this and watch for it.

It's kind of surprising that was was UK film. They'll probably blame it on us.

I watched it last night. Michael Caine doing a resurrected Charles Bronson role.
If you can get past the Brit accents, it was OK, but just OK.
I also watched an older Clint Eastwood movie called A Perfect World that stars Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood. I've not heard of this movie, and though it was filmed a few years ago, it is extremely well done, very well acted and was well worth the 138 minutes it took to view.
I would not watch Harry Brown again. But I will watch A Perfect World again.
Clint Eastwood vs. Michael Caine? No contest.

Unit 308, I am going to look for "A Perfect World" right now... I too really like Eastwood.

I just finished watching this with my fiance'. Besides the depraved behavior that was depicted in the film by the hoooligans, the part that I was most "struck" by was in the end where the female detective asked for an armed response. Armed Response? If you had a gun, you wouldn't have this problem. Essentially, the police are not, at least in the film, able to protect themselves.

They make look at us as being stupid or uncivilized with our guns, but they look weak.

I really enjoyed the movie (saw it at Keystone Arts).
