Michael Caine is one heck of an Alfred Pennyworth, the trusted, knowledgeable, ever wise servant in the two recent films about the dark knight. Who knew all that time helping Batman would rub off?
Caine is set to become something of a crusader (if not a caped one) himself in the recently announced "Harry Brown," the story of an elderly man driven to vigilante justice in a London neighborhood taken over by criminals.
"He's an ex-Marine who lives on a real crap estate in London full of junkies and pimps and hookers. And he becomes a vigilante because he has to or else they’re going to kill him," Caine said of his character, comparing him slightly to Charles Bronson in "Death Wish."
