What happens when a professional killer violates the code? Get Carter!
 
 
Features: DVD, Widescreen, Digital Audio
 
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. A signature neo-noir classic from the director of The Terminal Man and A Prayer For The Dying.
 


Editor's Note

A small-time street tough from London finds himself enmeshed in a web of deceit, blackmail, and murder when he investigates the circumstances surrounding the death of his brother in Newcastle. GET CARTER is a hard-as-nails British crime movie, featuring a brutal performance by Michael Caine that stands as one of his best. The film is based on the novel JACK'S RETURN HOME by Ted Lewis. It was remade for a blaxploitation audience a year later as HIT MAN, and in 2000 Sylvester Stallone starred in a remake, with Michael Caine making an appearance in the film as well.
