During a recent interview with MTV News, Michael Caine asserted that he's going all vigilante for his recently announced feature Harry Brown.

The story follows 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, Caine told the site. "And he becomes a vigilante because he has to or else they’re going to kill him," comparing the character slightly to Charles Bronson in Death Wish.

Those who might joke about Caine playing such a physical role may want to think twice. While the 75 year-old actor will find ways to solve predicaments with methods other than using his fists, the actor insists that Harry Brown is gonna throw it down (apparently Caine still has rhythm, too).

"The guy is old and has emphysema but he is an ex-Marine and you get to know that. He’s in his late 70s and he doesn’t want to fight," Caine said. "He’s not exactly a powerhouse but he does start to bring it around!"

The film will co-star Emily Mortimer as a police officer.
