Review of Get Carter (2000) by Allan C — 14 Jun 2013
Disappointing remake of the classic Michael Cain British crime film. Stallone is good and there is a decent cast that includes Mickey Rourke, Alan Cumming, Gretchen Mol, Rachel Leigh Cook, Miranda Richardson Martin Landau, and the original JackCarter, Michael Caine.
Tyler Bates also has a good score for the film that includes portions of the original film's Roy Budd score. However, this film is painfully over-directed in a way that distracts from what should be a stripped down, tough-as-nails story of revenge.
What this story needed was a director more like Walter Hill and less of a director trying to ape Tony Scott or his music video progeny.
