Two-time Oscar® winner* Michael Caine rips into the role of Jack Carter in this legendary crime thriller marked by “brutal and gamy plot turns, excellent direction (and) a fast-moving screenplay” (Variety)! London mob strong-arm Carter is drawn north to Newcastle by his brother’s death-which he doesn’t believe is accidental. All to familiar with the ways of the mob, Carter single-mindedly, and single-handedly-tears into the local crime syndicate with terrifying precision and cold enjoyment, hunting the identity of the killer and then the killer himself. But what Carter doesn’t know is that corruption within the mob is widespread, high-ranked and may hit closer to home than he thinks! “The pace is relentless” lauded to L.A. Times, “and picks up momentum like a freight train barreling downgrade!” “An instant classic” agreed The New York Times. Presented here as meticulously restored and remastered in 2022 by the British Film Institute, with the added benefit of 4K resolution and High Dynamic Range, Caine’s masterful turn in GET CARTER is more exciting than ever.
