Movie Reviews of Get Carter
Movie Review: Cult Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Totally misunderstood and underestimated (i.e by the reviewer from Variety) who didnt understand the camera movement so he called it unnecessary. What is most interesting about this film is what the director does with the sound and camera movement -- it adds to the jarring effect of the characters who live on adrenalin and not introspection. The original Carter seemed like an aimless twit who gets killed and learns nothing from his experiences. Stallone's character is redeemed by his crusade but doesnt necessarily live longer than the original Carter. Before we call Stallone's Carter moral lets look at the way he relishes beating someone to a pulp. He seems to be using his crusade to avenge his brother as a way of assuaging the guilt he feels over being such a badass, not really much better than the Mickey Rourke character who with his new plastic surgery seems like an excuse for Frankenstein. The Director doesnt have a [...] for "film school pyrotechnics" but instead tries to do what a director is supposed to, let the visuals help tell the story from Carter's point of view. This is one that will be shown and discussed in film school for a long time, not a typical gangster epic but instead something really innovative and fresh.Movie Review: SURE IT DOES!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a real Stallone, a real, improved and renovated Stallone , this movie can be subject of cult for a few followers of good movies, getting by now away of commercial sucess Stallone has been trying in the last years to be involved in judgemental , troubled , confused and very human characters this is an actor ambition, good ambition , still he is in that process of maturity in personal and professional levels , this movie is quite an achievement , also i need to mention that co starrings are the best of the best , Mr Caine and Mr Rourke are awesome in their interpretation they complement each other in a very enjoyable way for the audience , specially Rourke with Stallone, check out the argue sequences , very real discussions they help you to comprehend how hard life is, I repeat this movie could easily become a cult film and if that comes to happen would be very well deserved

Movie Review: Ignore the Critics on Amazon.... this is a cool flick !
Summary: 5 Stars
Ignore the critics here on Amazon.
This is a cool and much improved remake of the 1971 GET CARTER.
Brief synopsis....
"Bad brother" and occupational debt collector returns home after 5 years to attend his younger "good brother's" funeral.
It becomes quickly apparent the circumstances of his brother's death are not what they appear to be.
Stallone makes up for his failure to be a part of the family these past few years by getting to the bottom of things and "making things right".
With dark rainy imagery, some upbeat soundtrack movie and good acting by not only Stallone but Rourke and Leigh, this is a great film that deserved more attention.
Only the casting of the billionaire computer-geek is bad casting.
My wife loves this film so much she watches it at least once per month !
Movie Review: 'Get' Immortal
Summary: 5 Stars
Sylvester Stallone has done it again! I am amazed with how many of his pictures that I have truly encountered! In "Get Carter," he plays Jack Carter, a bail bondsman of sorts and loves what he does. You don't pay the man, the stuff's in the fan. You don't like it, too bad. After his brother was murdered in Seattle, Carter went to check out the sneaky cover-up. He uncovered a pornographic solicitation scandal that involved his niece and he got extremely aggravated. Oh, piddily mortals, you shouldn't have messed with the best. A wannabe wiseguy played by Mickey Rourke, thought he could box with the immortal. Sure he got a few good hooks in, but the deity just shrugged it off and knocked him down. Cleanliness! He got revenge for his brother's death and somewhat helped his niece. A monarchy to treasure forever!Movie Review: An excellent Sylvester Stallone movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It is an excellent movie, even if the pace is a bit slow at times, unfortunately . Well at least you get what you need in a good action movie, with a few psychological hints, and more phrases than most Sly movies. In fact action is not always present, but when, it's there, it's always at a good level !! The bad guys get what they deserve, which is great, and I kind of like the main character (Jack). There's also Doreen and Audrey of course, and Cyrus Paine, and Thorpey always hanging around...The movie contains an interesting Las Vegas scene too, and a long train scene.
The end is really great: Jeremy was scared to death (really), but left alive (great for the story !!), while Brumby is catched and gets shots in the back.
