Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The original Get Carter (1971), directed by Croupier's Mike Hodges, starred Michael Caine as Jack Carter, a mob enforcer who returns to his hometown after the suspicious death of his brother. The plot had a breezy, improvised feel and Caine was fantastic, an amoral man who would sleep with any girl or torture any guy to get what he wants. In this American remake, Sylvester Stallone plays a sanitized version of Jack Carter, a guy who is violent but ultimately moral. It doesn't work nearly as well. The whole movie seems like it's been crafted around the Stallone persona, which gives it a manufactured rather than spontaneous feel. Admittedly, that is not helped by the film-school pyrotechnics of director Stephen Kay, who fills the frame with so much unnecessary camera movement that it really feels like he spent more time setting up the camera shots than he did on the script. Moving the story from a small town north of London to Seattle works better because of the subplot concerning Internet porn, of which Seattle is a virtual hotbed. The downside is that it allows for Alan Cumming's portrayal of a Bill Gates-like billionaire as a near-retarded boy-child. Other actors fare better with their roles, particularly Rachel Leigh Cook and Mickey Rourke, though Michael Caine's presence only serves to draw unfair comparisons to the original. That said, if you watch both versions you will learn more about the state of Hollywood at the turn of the millennium than with a year's subscription to Variety. --Andy Spletzer

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Please Uncle Jack, Don't Take It To Another Level
Sylvester Stallone stars as "financial adjuster" Jack Carter. Leaving Vegas for rainy Seattle, Carter is on a quest to find out who murdered his little brother and why. Along the way he tries to mend his broken relationships with his sister in law (Miranda Richardson) and his niece (Rachael Leigh Cook). He battles old enemies like Cyrus Pace (Mickey Rourke), an Internet porn purveyor and new ones like a shady club owner (original Carter Michael Caine), and a wimpy computer entrepreneur (Alan Cumming). ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - who doesn't love a good revenge story?!
I mean seriously, who doesn't love a good revenge story?! I admit, I'm a sucker for Stallone, but I love this movie, and I'm not even a big action movie fan. You can't help but root for Stallones' character in this one. I think it's a highly underappreciated movie.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Underrated
This is a good action flick, despite the director's heavy hand. (The antsy camera jumps ahead, scene after scene, sparing, or perhaps cheating the viewer, out of cathartic moments.) That aside, the acting is good (one of Stallone's better efforts). O'Roark and John McGinley are excellent. The rainy, grainy photography works well. The music gives the film a beat. All told, a very good movie.

Get Carter DVD

Get Carter starring Sylvester Stallone at his most menacing is a remake of the 1971 Get Carter [Region 2]title starring Michael Caine who co-stars in this movie. It is based on the novel Jack's Return Home. It is all about Jack Carter (Sylvester Stallone) returning home after he hears about his Brother's death under suspicious circumstances.

This might be one of Stallone's best movies from an acting point of view. That Goatee and beard does not suit him. Makes ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - But where has he put his brain?
Nothing to brag about. Once Stallone, always Stallone. Or if your prefer once Rambo, always Rambo. Or even better once Rocky, always Rocky. So here the Rambo from the subtropical jungle has landed in some suburban asphalt jungle, the Rocky of the boxing ring has fallen down to the crime ring of some underrated but self-overrating gang of gangsters, what else could they be anyway. You have the fights your are looking for. You have the car chases you are expecting. You have the fake eroticism you are seeking. ... Read More
