Summary: Distilled "Carter"
Review: Having not seen the original for some time,I finally saw it in its entirety last week.Considering I've only just seen the remake tonight,it's fair to say it's going to be difficult to describe it as a film that stands on its own two feet.GET CARTER(1971) was about a mobster going back to Newcastle to find who murdered his brother.His search for the truth is ruthless. GET CARTER(2000) follows much the same story,Newcastle is now Seattle.I had my misgivings about Stallone playing Carter,but surprisingly he pulls it off.Not only does he look the part,this is one of his best roles. Supported by a sleazy Mickey Rourke,Miranda Richarson as his late brother's wife,and Rachael Leigh Cook who shines in this version,as her daughter Doreen. I wasn't expecting an action fest because the original gets by because of Micheal Caine's ruthless determination to get the truth. I do like this version but I have to deduct two stars for trying to sanitise Carter and adding a happy Hollywood ending.Also most of the film,the director is so obsessed with attention span,he "strobes" the picture regularly and unnecessarily.The final confrontation between Carter and Mickey Rourke is an anticlimax.The beach chase replaced by a brawll on a dancefloor.Not quite as memorable. Stallone seems to better with age and here he still packs a punch.And rather being a hinderance to a remake with a"you're the disease,I'm the cure" approach,he's much better in this film.

Summary: An Underrated Stallone Classic!
Review: Get Carter is film in which Stallone fans will enjoy thoroughly. Although it is different. The different camera angles and weird screen effects make the movie hard to follow the first time out.
The acting is pretty solid. Though Mickey Rourke seems to sort of slump on his part.
All in all, it's a great thriller movie that does have some nice action to it. Stallone delivers well here. I don't think many will be disappointed.

Summary: The truth hurts
Review: Financial adjuster Jack Carter (Sylvester Stallone) returns home to Seattle to attend his brothers Richie's funeral. Unable to accept that his brother was driving drunk he begins to interogate Richies friends and family. The more he looks into it he believes his brother was taken out. While home he develops a relationship with his niece (Rachel Leigh Cook)and looks after his brothers family. As the mystery unfolds Jack will stop at nothing to have his revenge. I have been a fan of Stallone for as long as I can remember and at fifty years old the guys still got it. Director Stephen Kay has given this film a unique look that I love. But those expecting an action flick you might be dissapointed. This film is more of a hard edged thriller. The film was almost perfectly cast with Stallone, Miranda Richardson, Rachel Leigh Cook, Michael Caine and Mickey Rourke. The only downside was Alan Cummings try at the young millionare software tycoon. The films main downfall was the script and a few plot holes but I was able to overlook them. Even though the film tanked at the box office, Warner has put together a great disk. The picture is great presented in widescreen and DD 5.1 surround. They also put some effort into suppliments. Theres a feature-length commentary by Stephen Kay, deleted scenes and two theatrical trailers. Even though I liked the film I can't recommend it to everyone. I suggest rent before you buy.

Summary: good movie for another era.Haven't seen the original but..
Review: If this movie was made about 20 years ago; I could see it being a hit. The trouble is that Stallone is choosing scripts that would have worked ...if done in the eighties. We've all seen this plot before. He performance is good but his character is too one note. He wants revenge for the death of his brother. I didn't believe his hit man with a heart of gold act though. The action scenes were good. The action was very influenced by music videos. While not a total waste of time the movie needed more substance to work. I could see Stallone in roles taken by Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro..I think that he needs a role that doesn't put him in the tough guy mode. "Cop Land" proved to me he could do Oscar material.

Summary: A under rated revenge classic...
Review: In 'Get Carter' Sylvestor Stallone plays Jack Carter a Las Vegas bookey or as he likes to say a "financial adjuster" and if you don't pay well let's just say he becomes 'Rocky' in a unofficial boxing match in the back alley while your tied down to a chair!
However the movie is based upon the revenge of his brother's death who supposebly died in a drinking and driving accident which obviously he does not believe and takes a train to Seattle to check it out. So as Carter searches all of Seattle for his brother's killer the suspects keep changing for whenever he muscles or question's the one who he thinks organized itor did it they give him another name. So after a while he no longer cares who exactly did it and starts killing anyone he for surely knows was at least involved. Get Carter also co stars Mickey Rourke, Alan Cumming, and Michael Caine.

Summary: It's all about the next level.
Review: A slow, dreary film so poorly lit several scenes exist in half darkness. Especially funny is a scene where one character asks another to take off his glasses -- you know, so he can see his eyes -- and we can't see his eyes! Too rich. Stallone is Carter, a Vegas hitman out to avenge the death of a brother and the abuse of a niece. Caine's a goon, Rourke's a goon, Cook's the sexually abused niece and Cumming's just weird. Stallone talks endlessly of taking the tough-guy standoffs "to the next level;" only Rourke is allowed to respond with his own level, after which Stallone returns with a level not seen since the final duel in "Cobra."

Summary: An excellent Sylvester Stallone movie
Review: 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.

Summary: The Stallion strikes again!
Review: This film does for Stallone what Pulp Fiction did for Travolta. Stallone and Rourke play two seasoned thugs. The characters are gritty and believable as are the fight scenes. Definitely worth the ride.
