Get Carter
You’re a big man, but you’re in bad shape.
04 November 2024
A London gangster (Michael Caine) travels back to his hometown of Newcastle to investigate the suspicious death of his brother.
Paints a bleak picture of the world, that’s for sure. And it’s a world that revolves around a cold bastard posing as an anti-hero. On the face of it Carter is a man seeking revenge but it quickly becomes clear that he just wants to watch the world burn.
A sadistic neo-noir that is more cynical and brutal than I had remembered. Worthy of your time for Caine’s performance, the intelligent direction and creative editing.
