Harry Brown (2009)
Average Joe: OAP Harry Brown (Michael Caine). Who just happens - surprise! - to be an ex-Royal Marine.
What turns him?: Snowballing grief and rage, after local chavs stop him from attending his wife’s deathbed, and then kill his bezza mate (David Bradley).
Not-the-years-but-the-mileage postal: Harry might be a pensioner, but old-timer knowhow trumps nu-skool braggadocio any day.
These pipsqueaks don't know what's hit 'em when the Guv’nor sets his target on cleaning up the 'hood.
Please, bring back National Service… just to give 'em a chance.
Next: Mad Max

what about Liam Neesons Character Bryan Mills from Taken, surely one of the best films of last year
