5.0 out of 5 starsA collector's item!
By Ian Hunter on 9 July 2011
Format: DVD
When I first saw this film, it was before colour TV was widely available in Britain. The black and white version was like film noir; grainy, atmospheric and menacing. I watched it again this week, in colour. To my mind, it is not as effective. However, what is effective is the acting of Michael Caine. He plays a hardened London hit-man who returns to Newcastle in the (then 1960s - heavy industrialised) north-east of England. The story is about his search for his brother's killer. The thing about this film is that there is no glamour in the violence. It feels real; the quick punch to the stomach and ribs, with the collapse of the recipient of such blows. The Stallone re-make of this film is a travesty of the original. There's even a phone-sex interlude, before mobile phones existed! If you like raw realism and seeing a less-fashionable part of Britain in the 1960s (at a time when the `Liverpool Sound' was taking over the world, and when Newcastle offered its own contributions, such as The Animals), then this is a collector's item.

Ian Hunter.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis villain is the real deal
By Mr G on 9 May 2012
Format: DVD
Easily the best British gangster movie i've seen, only "The Long Good Friday" can compare.
Everything is grim in Jack Carter's home town, the swinging sixties have passed it by...Carter returns from London to avenge the death of his brother and sweeps through town like a one-man killing machine; anyone who gets in his way is ruthlessly despatched.
The film abounds with memorable, iconic scenes: the train journey to Newcastle (featuring a class 55 Deltic); dumping the future Alf Roberts off a multi-storey onto a passing car; the look on Carter's face as he sees his brother's child (or is it his own?) in a sick porn movie; the viscious demise of Albert Swift (Glyn Edwards) and the sudden, brutal ending. Caine, 37 at the time, has never been better.
Everything about "Get Carter" is top notch, especially the cast (John Osbourne, Ian Hendry, Alun Armstrong), the location work, and a fantastically cool theme tune. Like all great movies it never appears dated, and i never tire of watching it.

1.0 out of 5 starsAVOID THE BLU RAY
By S. heale on 3 May 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Well after years of waiting,warners have screwed the release of this classic film by only having the dubbed us soundtrack and not the original british soundtrack
its poorly dubbed and ruins the whole opening scene.
even the commentary by director mike hodges-ported over from the dvd release has him saying he doesnt like the dubbed version..

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is how gangster movies should be made....
By Ctwilliams on 11 Jan. 2011
Format: DVD
Michael Cain is unforgettable as Jack Carter, a London based villain who returns home for his brothers' funeral in Newcastle and unravels the dubious circumstances behind his death. Carter follows a trail that leads him into a twilight world of Northern gangsters, porn victims and rackmanesque businessmen played by familiar but now deceased faces. Not least is the urbane, salacious and sinister gangster Kinear operating out of a stately home and memorably played by John Osborne in awesome form. The gangster's dialogue and humour is direct and as compelling as Carters shotgun. Whilst the directors use of long camera angles from the outset adds a visual kick to Carters detached, stark and singular journey of revenge. The soundtrack is effectively sparse by modern day standards and most notable during Carters train journey up north to Newcastle. This is Cain at his most convincing as he uses his London working class background to dramatic effect in this hard man role. Get Carter is a genuine milestone in British gangster movies.

1.0 out of 5 starsWhy release the dubbed version in the UK
By Mr Alan R Eggleton on 3 May 2014
Format: Blu-ray
Get Carter is a terrific film but this release is disappointing.
There were two versions of the film, due to the thick accents some scenes were overdubbed for the US audience - fair enough?
Unfortunately the lazy people at Warners has decided to release the dubbed version in the UK too.
To compound the issue this dubbed version is derided in the commentary on the extras!
Having waited so long for this release the outcome is spoils the film for me.
Hopefully Warners will reconsider this release and at the very least give the option of selecting the original soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 starsSO CLASSY ITS UNTRUE
By sean paul mccann on 5 Sept. 2006
Format: DVD
Get Carter is a 1971 britisg gangster movie that all others must compare too but few can claim to be as stylish,as reflective of the area it is based in at the time,to have such great quotes,to have such a soundtrack and of course be as influential,Get Carter is all that wrapped in a bloody bow.

Michael Caine plays Jack Carter who is a mobster working in london who is from the north of england,newcastle to be precise who heads home to attend his brothers funeral and although his brother is alledged to have died by accident Jack isnt convinced and sets about opening doors to the truth and at whatever cost.

Carters revenge is brutal and swift and in the end must be considered one of the coolest gangsters ever portrayed on the big screen,such is his ability to just do what he does and do it brilliantly is acting at its finest.

The film didnt go down well upon initial release i believe but total film regards it as the greatest british movie in any genre and thats high praise indeed,dont watch the remake with stallone,watch this.

Michael Caine gives a truly magnificent performance and invents a new type of hero, the antihero. Jack Carter is a very, very violent man, with a heart. Read more

Brilliant film, with acrid humour.

If I have a reservation , it's about the plausibility of some one like Carter getting so steamed up about his 15-year-old niece... Read more
