  Harry Brown (Michael Caine)Movie: Harry Brown (2009)What peeved him off? Harry's best mate on his London sink estate has been murdered by a gang of yoofs who have also been intimidating him and making misery in the estate's underpasses.Most intimidating quote: "In Northern Ireland people were fighting for a cause. To them out there, this is just entertainment."Like Death Wish on arthritis meds or Uncle Dredd, this exploitation thriller sees ex-Marine Harry Brown unleash hell on a south London council estate that's overrun with the kind of scum and villainy more often found propping up the bar in Mos Eisley. Here, though, there's no doubt who shoots first.Particular set of skills: Bayoneting; shooting; killing drug dealers.Likelihood of violent death for perps? If you're wearing a hood and you're loitering in an underpass, you won't be loitering for very long.
