Michael Caine is absolutely fantastic as the cockney
gangster Jack Carter, who travels up to Newcastle-upon-Tyne to investigate the death of his brother.
Get Carter is a superb British crime thriller which
doesn't waste a single character and presents a gritty, ruthless protagonist who you root for despite his unlikeable traits.
Who the hell thought that a Hollywood remake would be
a good idea? Idiots!
8/10
