Review of Get Carter (1971) by Alex R — 28 Feb 2018

Get Carter is seriously dark. Gripping and gritty until the very end. Starring Michael Caine as the icy gangster out for revenge after receiving news of his late brother's death. Scene after scene, brick by brick "Get Carter" builds itself up as a neo noir thiller that knows what it's doing.

A step ahead of the curve in both it's story telling and it's era. This is one baaaad to the bone movie. And not for the faint at heart. This is a THE definition of anti-hero. Jack Carter may be one of cinema's coldest characters.

And yet he sizzles the screen. It's hard to like him. But it's even harder NOT to. There's a wonderful relationship to this film you won't get tired of. And when it ends. Well, you'll see.
