A pretty unassuming gangster story that’s lent substance by Michael Caine’s towering badass. Nothing can save you once Carter’s given you that stone-cold look.

Cain is a British Sweet Sweetback.

Let it never be said that 1970s Michael Caine is not badass.

Caine is fantastic as a brutal and pitiless gangster out to solve his brother's murder. Sleek, stylish, and gritty - the film holds up pretty well, at least compared to the goofier "Italian Job"

Near great revenge tale.

Jeg har en svaghed for Sir Caine..

Michael Caine playing an absolute bastard. Effective underworld story

i understand only theoretically this movies & m. caine's charm

Lots of really engaging action and a great ending -- a must for anyone interested in gangster flicks.

When one looks at the women that are sexualized in this film, it suddenly dawns why James Bond was so obsessed with foreign beauties.

Not my all-time favorite british gangster flick, but it's still a must-see classic! Get Carter doesn't follow the usual concepts of good and evil, they are many shades of grey and debauchery in this dreary slum. Even the hero of the movie is a brutal son of a bitch. Goddamn was Caine sexy back then though, in a horrible misogynistic bastard kind of way. Horrible morals, great film...

soulless, brutal and all the other generic words people use to describe this movie. But shit they are right. Would say its a tad bit long though.

Gritty, british noir at its best ! Caine is brilliant, as the scoundrel you love to hate, respect and understand. A must see !!!!!!

Caine may look plenty cool dishing out personal justice, but the movie itself is a by-the-numbers revenge drama. There's no real personality to it, just a body count with some Bondian sexual exploits to break things up. There's plenty to debate about the sadism of the film being portrayed as heroic, or, more accurately, without much of a thought at all, but the worst sin is that it's flat-out boring.

Great if only because of Micheal Caine's portrayal of a total bastard. There are no good guys in this film, Carter's efforts are anything but likable and I suppose that was the point. It's to the credit of his characterization that I was effectively cheering in the end. Otherwise, the film is difficult to get into and probably wouldn't be worth a re-watch.

What I like about this film is the no nonsense dialogue, the raymond chandler crime story-like narrative and Michael Caine. What I didn't like was that the must expected "she was only 16 old" line that they repeat endlessly in the The Trip isn't from this film. (EDIT) Apparently the line from The Trip is made up. Such a disappointment.

Michael Caine is like a rock. He has about as many expressions and his character is at least as hard as one. Skillful directing.

Good revenge flick. A little slow to start of but the second half pays off. Recommended.

So cool.

Caine is utterly badass as the criminal scumbag who ruthlessly disposes of other criminal scumbags. Unfortunately, apart from a few interesting scenes and good (haunting) use of audio, there is not thát much to write home about. Caine's search for answers takes a while to get going and I wasn't terribly interested in knowing which gangster told what other gangster to do something to a different gangster.
