Ronnie M @spuncake Aug 30 It was a struggle getting to the end of this movie. What a drag See more Laurie S @Karlwinters 09/23/2022 If this load of rubbish is based on my favourite British gangster movie Get Carter which is a class 5 stars act in all departments then this has to be the worst of the director's films including the screen writer's. And the music director of this adaptation should get his act together because the score was terrible. Even the dire US remake starring Stallone was much better. The silly hat Casey wore made him look like a pimp. Incidentally Carter wasn't a hit man he was an enforcer.

I might have liked it more if I hadn't of been such a fan of Mike Hodges 1971 classic. See more 06/15/2014 Mike Hodges' classic British Crime film "Get Carter" gets a 1970s blaxploitation treatment. Bernie Casey does a good job stepping into the Michael Caine role of Jack Carter, updated here to Tyrone Tackett. Casey returns home to Oakland after his brother died in apparent suicide, but he quickly finds out there's more to the story and starting looking for revenge upon those responsible (who happen to be gangsters and pron filmmakers). Directed by the underrated and underused George Armitage, this version of "Get Carter" is head and shoulders above the Sylvester Stallone remake. Also featuring Pam Grier as a X-Rated film star, Paul Gleason in an uncredited bit part as a cop, and quite a few other familiar character actors, this film is well worth watching for fans of the genre.
