Harry Brown (2009)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289406/

Take the plot of "Death Wish," add the plot of "Gran Torino," throw in the score from "Taxi Driver," plus a mail-it-in performance by Michael Caine, and you've got a pretty bad movie. Caine averred in pre-screening remarks at the Toronto Film Festival that his character was not a vigilante because he did what he had to do, not what he wanted to do. Vigilante or not, his character faces off against a nasty bunch of caricatures in seamiest London, and predictably blows them all away. The film could not be more formulaic, from its multi-racial villains to its soft-but-tough policewoman (well played in a losing cause by Emily Mortimer.) This dog has not augmented Caine's distinguished career.

A film by Daniel Barber, 2009.
