In this 2009 film, [[Michael Caine]] stars as Harry Brown, a [[Badass Grandpa|widowed pensioner]] and [[Retired Badass|ex-Royal Marine]] who lives on a [[Council Estate]] terrorised by [[Teens Are Monsters|feral teens]]. After an old friend confronts a bunch of them and is killed, he decides that enough is enough and is off to go chav-hunting. In essence, he's the British version of [[Death Wish|Paul Kersey]].▼

The cast is noted for being very diverse, ranging from professional actors to actual and former gangsters, prostitutes and drug dealers. There is also an aspiring lawyer who also acts. Michael Caine himself lived not far from where the movie was shot and chose to do the project to raise awareness about English sink estates <ref> [[Separated by a Common Language|translates to American]] as "the projects"</ref> and the lifestyle lived in them.
An interview between Michael Caine and [[The Daily Show|Jon Stewart]] can be found [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-april-29-2010/michael-caine here].
