| Stallone is Jack Carter, a mob enforcer who's back in town after he finds out that his brother has just been killed and his brother's daughter also has been raped. Of course, he's a little pissed off. Carter drives all over town, interviewing his brother's family as well as potential suspects in the case. (Ironically, it never seems like the police are involved). There are a ton of recognizable character actors in here, inlcuding Mickey Rourke, Alan Cumming, and John C. McGinley.
It's a shame this movie didn't get a decent theatrical run and was panned by critics. The film is actually quite decent and gets a lot of good performances by its actors. Michael Caine even shows up in a cameo as a nod to the 1971 version.
This film is not as bad as you may think it is if you're looking for something to simply entertain you. Sly is back in full form, giving a strong performance (for him anyway) in the lead. Worth a look for action and thriller fans. |

| Rating | | | Date | February 02, 2005 | | Summary | Vengenance Upon The Viewer | Content
| Sorry this remake of Get Carter is a dud. The entire plot surrounds many unsavory characters. Also, little depth is provided and too many unanswered questions remain. Why was Sylvester Stallone's character estranged from his murdered brother? And why after five years does he take such an aggressive murdering stand to avenge his murdered brother's death and niece's rape? Even Syrus played by Mickey Rourke questions this.
Little is explained about the events that led to Jack Carter's brother's murder. A few scene's of gruesome flashbacks and endless chatter of this disc that the brother had do not get to the point of what led to this murder.
The nerve racking car chase and fight scenes even seem hard to follow. The final confrontation between Stallone and Rourke is strangely scripted with Rourke beating Stalone bloody. Five minutes later Stalone stagers to where Rourke is dancing with sleazy women and is able to muster the strength to beat down his adversary. Its difficult to interpret what Michael Caine's role is in this fiasco.
All of the above adds up to a one star rating that takes more painful vengenance on the viewer than any beatings that Carter(Stallone) lays down on his hapless victims. |

| Why all the criticism of Sly Stallone? He can't act, we are told. He can't express emotion. He can't speak. He is a one-character actor. It's time to be honest: He can do what most actors on the cover of People every week can only dream of. He gets people to buy a movie ticket, and he commands their interest and attention for two hours. And he's been doing it for a generation. It's him. It's not the director, the screenwriter, the set designer, or the special effects. How many other actors can make that claim? Long after the no-talent pretty boys who are 90% marketing have gone back to waxing eyebrows, Stallone's movies will be bringing joy to millions of people in theaters and on TV for years to come. John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Errol Flynn, Sly Stallone, Clint Eastwood: There's a reason we can't take our eyes off them. |
