Bobby J An amazing film with a brilliant cast! One of the best British crime flicks of all time! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Audience Member All the bad guys can do is get Carter. Why? Because he's out for blood and for the truth. A young Michael Caine in one of his earliest thrillers. Jack Carters brother is dead but he doesn't sit well with leaving it where it is. He's determined to find out what exactly happened. It doesn't matter how many he has to step on or kill to do so. He is after all a London gangster and during his search in Newcastle he comes across kingpin Kinnear. Maybe he can actually solve his brothers death. This movie kinda follows the lines of Dirty Harry with some Clint Eastwood ingredients thrown in. One man going off the rails to find the ones responsible. Corruption, dark secrets, and dirty betrayals are what Carter gets mixed in. How long can a man over the edge go before it all catches up to him? Caine gives one of the most raw performances of his career and he's a dime a dozen. He plays a man so deeply rooted in revenge and has cuts that run more deep. Other than a less than stellar ending this gangster flick is gritty, violent, thrilling, and full of old school elements of the 1970s era. Who gets who first? Caine dominates the movie from start to finish. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Pat M Sylvester Stallone was smoldering revenge looking for his brothers killer in a movie with Mickey Rourke and Michael Caine who was Carter in the original movie 50 years earlier. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review AB L One of the great downbeat thrillers. The most impressive thing here is how well everything pays off in the second half as Caine slowly and methodically enacts his revenge. I also appreciate the documentary style which allows for Newcastle upon Tyne to become an essential supporting character in the movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Jack O After Get Carter, I was first thinking about Michael Caine, and then I thought about The Italian Job but I realize he stared in The Muppet Christmas Carol. The one he played Ebeneezer Scrooge. When I saw Michael Caine, he was in that movie not Get Carter. So anyways I'm just saying that to get it out of the way. Michael Caine as Jack Carter returns to Newcastle, England to seek revenge for his brother's death after going to the funeral and meet Doreen, her father, brother of Jack Carter. One day, he was surrounded by one of the henchmen, one who given called Brumby. So he was told by Brumby that Kinnear who is responsible for Jack's brother's death. He kills a women named Margaret after telling her about his brother a couple of minutes of the film. He calls the police to get Kinnear arrested and chases Eric and forcing him to drink a bottle of whisky. I really do like this movie. It's an absolute classic, especially for Michael Caine. It's definitely enjoyable for most people. Michael Caine is a great actor as Jack Carter. Great directing and I really do like the cinematography in this, really impressive especially for the 70's film. If you are a huge fan of Michael Caine then this is it. You should go watch it on TCM or get it in the DVD store. I think most people don't know about this film Get Carter. When I think of Michael Caine the first time, I was thinking about The Muppets starring Kermit the frog and Miss Piggy and all the other Muppets. Well, I bet you can get some enjoyment on this one. I like it. It's an absolute classic. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review j f Flabby and bloated crown-polishers aren't intimidating or convincing. The English should stick to bookish endeavors. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
