We Kill is a decent retelling of Harry Brown. However, it lacks the sheer personality and grit that Michael Cain brought to the story in Harry Brown (think British Charles Bronson/Death Wish). It's still a decent East Ender revenge/vigilante film. The plot is, as I said, almost identical to Harry Brown with a few minor changes. It's still very entertaining and I enjoyed seeing the old guys getting their gangster on.
In my opinion the film built tension and action nicely but reached its peak to soon and then petered out with an almost anticlimactic end. It would have been nice to see some of the subplots developed a bit more as well. It left the characters coming off as a bit 2 dimensional at times.
Overall, not a waste of time like some more recent old guy films made by action stars approaching the end of their careers and willing to act in anything. If you want a decent British vigilante film this one will do the job. But, if you want the best of the old guy films watch Harry Brown instead. Michael Cain does not disappoint.
