Review of Get Carter (1971) by Miika V — 07 Apr 2009

Good revenge film with a great performance from super badass Michael Caine. I remember seeing the remake years ago (my sister was in love with Sylvester Stallone for awhile but she's better now) and it was the biggest piece of shit of all time.

Watching the original makes you understand why they want to remake it. The only problem that I had with the movie is that with such a good leading role, why they had to mess it up with a zig zagging plot when I was more interested in just watching Caine find interesting ways to kill people and doing it suavely (I don't even know if thats a word, but it fits for Caine).

I did not see the ending coming, but in this case I would have like to seen it done differently. I am all for bleak endings, but this one just didn't work for me.
