Do not get me wrong, the teens in this movie pretty much deserved it and I like many cheered their deaths, but at the end of the day they were still kids, mostly.
Yep, just good old drug dealing, gun toting old dude murdering kids.

Also, Harry Brown is by no means a Hollywood movie lol. I am not even sure if it came out in cinemas in the UK or if it went right to DVD, I have only found one American who did a review on it on youtube.

What people forget about is two things in these revenge movies.
- That is it straight up murder.
They don't always make it look like it and will make it be OK with us because the bad guy may pull a gun first or else he is just so terrible he deserves to die that we want him to get killed. - Even though the "Good guy," leaves behind a trail of bodies that does nothing at all for bringing back the dead he got vengeance on.
Which is why they always show his loved ones getting killed in the beginning.
Never the middle or near the end of the movie.
We forget about them and just the action to cheer on his revenge.

I think the movie tries to tell the audience that these particular teens will not change as they get older and get worse, making it ok….
If news article comments have taught me anything it is that if someone over the age of 12 does something really bad then they deserve to die lol
