Review of Get Carter (2000) by Evgueni K — 27 Apr 2010

Because I'm such a huge fan of the original Hodges film, it's no surprise it has taken me 10 years to see this. A chance viewing tonight on cable, and I decided to give it a shot because a friend who's opinion I value had said it wasn't that bad.

Well, as the saying goes, there's 1h42 of my life I won't get back! What a terrible waste of a really stellar (and mostly surprising) cast. Was nice of whoever to take a few tiny moments to throw in a rehashing of the excellent Roy Budd score.

Caine isn't in it long enough, but he sure does not disappoint!
