Michael Caine is Jack Carter, the London gangland enforcer who
returns to his hometown of Newcastle to avenge his brother’s death.
Rarely has the criminal underworld been so realistically portrayed as in
this 1971 masterpiece. Shot on location, resulting in a devastatingly
authentic snapshot of life in the north east of England in the
late-industrial period, Get Carter
remains arguably the grittiest and greatest of all British crime films.
restored in 4K from the original camera negative by the BFI, and
approved by director Mike Hodges, Get Carter is back, looking and sounding better than ever.
