Another Caine remake that never should have been.

"Get Carter" of 2000 isn't just an unnecessary remake, it's an unnecessary film altogether. While the film has a handful of decent performances, the whole thing is an unbelievable bore. Stallone, the star of the show, has zero interesting qualities. The plot hinges on the murder of someone that never gets introduced. The action and violence are so underwhelming and poorly constructed. Much of filming and editing is so odd, and the overall pacing is excruciatingly slow.

Ok. In the original Michael Caine travels from Cosmopolitan London to the working class streets of Newcastle. In the remake Stallone leaves Las Vegas for... Seattle. How does this work? If I made a modern American Get Carter Stallone would travel from New York to Cleveland, Pittsburg, or Detroit. Not the most forward thinking progressive city in America. This film lacks the raw grittiness that made the original so unique and is thus boring, bland, and just doesn't stand up as a remake. Avoid it

A profoundly pointless remake, and very annoyingly edited to boot. It is kind of funny to see Michael Caine playing a minor supporting role in a remake of his own film, though.

Poor remake of a genuine classic. Skip it, and watch the Michael Caine version instead.

Carter's gone soft and the whole movie follows suit. A perfect example of a needless remake that made only bad changes to the original.

I was genuinely surprised by Stallone's acting in this one. A must-see for anyone looking for a good story, great action, and kick-ass fun.
