My pick of the week is Harry Brown — a tale of revenge brought on by the elderly title character (portrayed by Michael Caine) after his best friend is murdered by the gangs who haunt the public housing block they live in. Director Daniel Barber has crafted an excellent atmospheric film and Caine delivers one of his best performances. This is a must-see film that deserves an audience. Available on DVD and Blu-ray.
