Review of Get Carter (1971) by Petter S — 29 Sep 2007
The Fletcher brothers don't want Jack to "go up the north" and quite right too, as he leaves half of Newcastle dead in his wake whilst he avenges his brothers murder. Quite possibly the first cinematic outing for the word "bollocks" from George Sewell's character Con.
Film aficinados should watch out for the old man with five fingers in the pub and the assassin in the same carriage as Jack on the train. The hardest, coldest, meanest film ever made, this is unlikely to be adopted as a come visit us advert by the Newcastle Tourism Board.
