I've stumbled across a wonderful movie called "Harry Brown".
I've never seen a movie paint quite a picture of city life in London. It's pretty bleak. It really makes you appreciate living in Texas.

Thanks, I've just added it to my NetFlix queue. BTW, NetFlix said I'd like it. We'll see?

I just watched this flick. It is really eye opening experience. Maybe the antis who would like to ban all firearms for self-defense should watch this movie.

More "Death Wish" than "Gran Torino" . . .
I saw this movie . . . describing life in London as portrayed by this movie as "bleak" is accurate. Harry and his friends were very sympathetic characters, and the portrayal of the yobs' freedom to act as they wanted was disturbing.
