GET... A small-time street tough from London finds himself enmeshed in a web of deceit, blackmail, and murder when he investigates the circumstances surrounding the death of his brother in Newcastle. GET CARTER is a hard-as-nails British crime movie, featuring a brutal performance by Michael Caine that stands as one of his best. The film is based on the novel JACK'S RETURN HOME by Ted Lewis. It was remade for a blaxploitation audience a year later as HIT MAN, and in 2000 Sylvester Stallone starred in a remake, with Michael Caine making an appearance in the film as well. [More]

Reviews for Get Carter
Its finest triumph may be that it's still more immediate and brutal than almost any of the films that it inspired.
A classic British crime-thriller that's as mean and uncompromising as its vengeful main character. Caine is in top form.
Cínico, cruel e surpreendentemente charmoso, Carter é um dos melhores personagens da longa carreira de Caine – e as locações, os diálogos e a montagem fazem jus a ele.
