      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Its lurid violence may put off some viewers, but Harry Brown is a vigilante thriller that carries an emotional as well as a physical punch, thanks to a gripping performance from Michael Caine in the title role.

      Trevor Johnston Sight & Sound Harry Brown might just about have got by as a tongue-in-cheek popcorn romp, but by setting itself up as a virtual state-of-the-nation address it only draws attention to its own petty, embittered vacuity. Jul 10, 2018 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Perri Nemiroff CinemaBlend A lot to digest stylistically and narratively, but Harry Brown is developed in an ever-increasing, shock-inducing manner and is undeniably successful. Rated: 4/5 Aug 13, 2010 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek Harry Brown is, for the most part, one of the most original, stylistically-assured films to come out this year, and is a deeply impressive, distinctive showcase for its newcomer director, and canonised star. Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Barber’s debut proves to be more than an exploitative picture about revenge; instead, it’s a startling look at social problems that have no satisfying solution. Rated: 3/4 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Without Michael Caine, Harry Brown would not surpass its similar bunch.

      streng g Great Movie. GenZ will be offendet. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Mark K This film is absolutely fantastic! Michael Caine delivers an outstanding performance as anticipated, supported by an incredible cast. The seamless flow of the gripping story and the Director's brilliant storytelling truly make it a must-watch movie! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Gwenegan L Lurid violence and Michael Caine are a great team, at least in this movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review Joseph C Its like watching Death Wish, but if Charles Bronson was British. Either way I loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Diana P Emily Mortimer slays it in this role. And Michael Caine is, well, Michael Caine, in one of his best autumnal performances. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/23 Full Review Aaron Great British film , definitely surprised how well developed the characters, definitely feels still very real in 2023 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
