Double Academy Award winner Michael Caine plays the relentless title character, an ice-cold, efficiently lethal London mobster investigating his brother's death in the seedy Newcastle underworld.

fantastic!!!
firstly a million times better than the 2000 remake.
the film is fantastic, brilliant story and a brilliant location, tyneside, a lot has changed there now, but ig you knew the place even 10 years back you can imagine Carter roaming the streets.
classic quotes to be had, and in my opinion one of the best title sequences and music scores in a film to date.

the story is dark, secretive and violent, Carter is a man on a mission. this for the price it is now is certainly one to watch, especially for people who like British cinema. it captures time so well, the "Get Carter Car Park" is due for demolition and is standing there cold, a reminder of what once happened there.

Not just an epic gangster movie but a very articulate piece of detective work the main character follows before any violence is carried out which adds to the realism and depths of this type of movie. Carter not only seeks vengeance for the death (murder) of his brother as it looks as though Frank may have just got drunk as a skunk and drove his car into the river but makes sure he tracks everyone down connected to the death of his brother and executes them in various ways. I would strongly recommend you purchase this all time classic not just for the acting of Michael Caine but of all the characters that made this an entertaining movie. Buy this Classic!!

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars all time classic
