Not watched Harry brown yet. Got distracted by Transformers 2 (its amazing what you find yourself ordering from Lovefilm when your pissed).  noooo:

Superb special effects and spectacular set pieces. All marred by high speed pop video editing that seems to be Michael Beys trademark.

Great sound and picture on Blu-Ray but all things considered a load of shite.

Prolly best avoided unless you have some kids around and you can pretend you rented it for them.  happy088

No shagging but a few laughs.

I have seen Harry Brown, quite good. If a bit strong on the language.

I am a Michael Caine fan, so it would have to be a very bad film not to enjoy it.

Yes, that would be a suitable low tide mark.

Presumably you liked Little Voice as there was some shagging in it?

Oh contraire...  noooo:

I thought it was the worst film I've ever seen in my life and shame on Caine for appearing in it...

However, there are other 'experts' who post here who believe it to be a cinematic masterpiece....  whistle:

I can't remember if I've mentioned it on here before but I'll see your Little Voice and raise you Repo - The Genetic Opera for the title of worse film you will ever see in your life.  noooo:

Caine himself admits that some films he makes because they are good and some films he makes because somebody pays him to.

We had a long chat about film making and life in general one night, during the making of "The Fourth Protocol".

Mind you Chris Reeve was a bit of an arse.  whistle:
