This is quite a good movie, Sylvester Stallone and the rest of the cast are just great, it even has Michael Caine (the original carter). This modern adaptation doesn't quite stand up to the original but still has the same flare non-the-less. The only problem I could see with this movie is some of the modern film techniques that are used, a lot of them just seem out of place, but that's where the badness of this film ends. So buy or rent? I'm actually not quite sure on this one, but i bought it, though I'm a big Stallone fan so it was a must buy for me. 4/5, good semi-action movie.
THE TRUTH HURTS. HE'S TAKING ACTION WITH ATTITUDE TO THE NEXT LEVEL. ASK LAS VEGAS RESIDENT JACK CARTER WHAT HE DOES FOR A LIVING,AND HE'LL EXPLAIN HE'S A "FINANCIAL ADJUSTER". PAY WHAT YOU OWE. OR CARTER WILL ADJUST YOUR ARM,NOSE OR SPLEEN. PLENTY OF ADJUSTING AWAITS,INCLUDING A CHANGE IN CARTER'S OWN SENSE OF HONOR AND FAMILY-WHEN SYLVESTOR STALLONE PLAYS HARD-EDGED,CARTER IN THIS SLEEK ACTION THRILLER, CO-STARRING MIRANDA RICHARDSON, RACHAEL LEIGH COOK,ALAN CUMMING,MICKEY ROURKE AND MICHAEL CAINE (WHO HEADLINED THE 1971 VERSION OF GET CARTER.) VEGAS MUSCLE AND GLITZ MEETS DOT-COM, TRIPLE-LATTE SEATTLE, AS CARTER PROWLS TO SMOKE OUT HIS BROTHER'S KILLER. THUGS AND KILLERS MAY SEE CARTER COMING. BUT IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE TO GET OUT OF HIS WAY.
pretty good and i think well acted by S. Stalone. I love the speech he gives the girl towards the end, very good for young people her age. this is a PG version of the original movie, which is R if not X. Get Both versions. The "Get Carter" (1971) with M Caine is incredible and ground breaking ... even by today's standards ... i didn't think M. Caine had the balls to act like this. that's why S. Stalone redid this movie - this is M. Caine acting like a mouthy Rambo in the underworld mode.
This was a good movie. Sylvester Stallone is "Carter", an enforcer for the Las Vegas mob. His brother Ritchie, is killed in an auto accident in Seattle, and when he looks into it, he suspects that Ritchie was murdered. As he delves into the death, he finds that his Vegas associates and Ritchie's associates are all involved in this murder. He finds out that it all revolves around an affair that Ritchie had with the girlfriend of an associate and the revenge rape of Ritchie's daughter as payback. Stallone deals out his brand of justice.
