The film is about an area of London that has trouble with gangs, violence and drugs. An elderly man called Harry Brown's friend is murdered by a local gang so Harry takes it upon himself to get justice as the police had previously failed to do so. One by one he shoots all of the gang and finds out how his friend dies. This eventually ends up in a stand off with Harry, the leader of the gang and his uncle. As the leader of the gang is about to kill a lady the old man takes a gun from his sock and shoots the leader. This then leaves Harry at the mercy of the uncle but at this point the polices gun lasers appear on the mans chest and then they shoot him dead. Harry Brown gets away with his crime and at the end he is seen walking through the userpass, a place previously obtained by the gang as a sign that he has got justice and this is no longer a problem for the gang.
The story is told in a way that even though Harry Brown is breaking the law te audience is on his side. The audience has sympathy for Harry brown as he is an old man and is shown to have some of the typical stereotypes.
Youth is portrayed to be violent, aggressive and unsympathetic. The people in the area are shown to not have had the best up bringing and the location is shown to be rough and a dangerous place to live. The youths are shown to wear hoodies and tracksuit bottoms which stereotype that they are bad behaved and would be happy to break the law and commit crime.
The lighting in the film is quite natural as this makes the film seem more realistic and not staged. In the beginning of the film a hand held camera is used which doesn't have the best quality picture, this adds to the realistic way the film is shown and shows the audience these characters view of the situation.
The titles at the beginning of film were very small and simplistic which was done intentionally to represent how Harry Brown is an ordinary little man in a big world in which, he doesn't stand out for any reason, despite being the main character of the film.
The makers of the film put thought into every little detail in order to make the film exactly how they want it. For example they built a dirty bathroom just for one small scene, so that the audience get exactly the right idea about the location.
Harry Brown is seen completing ordinary everyday tasks such as making toast, washing up and wiping up crumbs all adding to the fact that he is just an ordinary man showing how his life no different from any ordinary persons.
