Review of Get Carter (1971) by Ian D — 20 Jun 2007
Every subsequent gangster film is a sham that owes something stylistically or narrationally to the existential beauty of this film. Michael Caine is the epitome of cool, and Mike Hodges is the ultimate craftsman of a visual style that fits the subject matter.
You can almost smell the decrepit Geordie landscape. Sylvester Stallone is a chump for remaking this masterpiece.
