Harry Brown is well made and will freely admit that Michael Caine's performance is very good, with enough nuance and menace to make the titular character fully rounded. What I didn't like was – and this is the case with almost all vigilante films – was portraying the police as feckless, uncaring, and generally useless.
There are undoubtedly some cases where law enforcement has been found wanting, but (and I realise this isn't the filmmakers job) criticising hard-working professionals when they are already overworked, underpaid and underappreciated is going to do little to change the situation.
