Review of Get Carter

Get Carter (1971)
8/10
excellent British gangster movie
8 July 2001
An excellent film starring Michael Caine who portrays a bespoked London-based gangster named Jack Carter who travels a town in northern England to avenge the death of his brother. In the process of his search for his brothers killer, he discovers a secret about his brother's family which adds real depth to the otherwise cold and calculating Jack Carter. The film is set primarily in the town of Newcastle, which is poor, dismal and dark, a perfect setting for Jack Carter's methodical and violent version of justice. The film is very well done and the final moments exemplify the fortitude and authenticity of British film.
