A vicious London gangster, Jack Carter, travels to Newcastle for his brother's funeral. He begins to suspect that his brother's death was not an accident and sets out to follow a complex trail of lies, deceit, cover-ups and backhanders through Newcastle's underworld, leading, he hopes, to the man who ordered his brother killed. Because of his ruthlessness Carter exhibits all the unstopability of the android in Terminator, or Walker in Point Blank, and he and the other characters in the film are prone to sudden, brutal acts of violence.

Get Carter (1971) [Re-UP]

Michael Caine has always been one of filmdom's most versatile actors, playing anything from light comedy to heavy drama. In the 1971 release, "Get Carter," he plays a serious part, indeed, that of a cool, calculating hit man for the mob. The film would be remade in 2000 with Sylvester Stallone as Jack Carter, but Stallone would not capture the single-minded determination and callous insouciance that Caine so easily demonstrated. The earlier film never caught moviegoers' attention the way many of Caine's other films did; understandably, audiences never warmed up to the main character, a hard-nosed antihero and cold-blooded killer. Nevertheless, "Get Carter" is a taut little noir thriller that should not be missed. It remains one of Caine's best, if least seen, roles.

Get Carter (1971) [Re-UP]

Based on the novel "Jack's Return Home" by Ted Lewis, with a screenplay written and directed by Mike Hodges ("A Prayer for the Dying," "Terminal Man"), the movie is unyielding in its realism and lack of sentimentality. Carter is a London hoodlum, a strong-arm man for a gang of mobsters. He's tough, and perhaps to reinforce his persona he reads Raymond Chandler. Or maybe he's simply a literate hood. As the story opens, Jack has gotten word of the death of his brother, Frank, in Newcastle. The brother is supposed to have died in a car wreck while drunk, but Jack knows his brother didn't drink. Nor does he believe it was suicide. Jack suspects murder.

He heads north to investigate for himself, and his inquiries lead him to many of his old acquaintances in the underworld, who clearly don't want him hanging around. Things get rough. This is a gritty, hard-nosed crime drama. Among the people he meets are a young girl named Doreen (Petra Markham), his brother's daughter, who may be more than just his niece; Cyril Kinnear (performed by famed British playwright John Osborne), the head of a pornographic-movie ring; Eric (Ian Hendry), Kinnear's shady chauffeur; Margaret (Dorothy White), Frank's prostitute lover; and Brumby (Bryan Mosley), a rich gambling concessionaire. Plus, Jack has to deal with assorted hangers-on of a grim, criminal nature. Britt Ekland has a minor part as Carter's girlfriend, Anna.

The movie courts no favor with its audience or its own characters. We know Carter for exactly what he is, a no-nonsense murderer for hire, yet we feel compelled to root for him since in this instance we see he is out to do the right thing in avenging his brother's death. We never condone his violence, yet we come to expect justice to prevail, in any case. Carter is unrelenting and without mercy in his pursuit of his brother's killers, and on only a couple of small occasions does Caine allow us to see the more-human side of his character's makeup. Basically, we follow Carter as he doggedly trails, hounds, and eliminates his brother's would-be assassins, while each moment he appears to be going a little further over the edge of sanity himself. Be aware, too, that in spite of its thirty-odd-year age, the movie is rated R for sex, nudity, profanity, and violence. It isn't violence of the bloody, gory, Hannibal Lector variety, but of the less-seen, less obvious, and, therefore, more menacing kind. Make no mistake: Carter is a killer, and the movie is brutal.

Get Carter (1971) [Re-UP]

The movie I was most reminded of while watching "Get Carter" was not the 2000 Stallone remake but Steven Soderbergh's underrated 1999 release, "The Limey," with Terence Stamp. That movie was also about a tough British hoodlum out to avenge the death of a loved one, and in both cases the tone of coarse, determined realism pervades almost every scene. If you like crime dramas, film noir, unaffected realism, and tightly wound little thrillers, the original 1971 version of "Get Carter" is a hard act to beat.
