A claustrophobic film of menace and depravity centred on Michael Caine's somewhat clumsy characterisation of British gangland muscle.

As mean as the proverbial junkyard dog and as moody, uncompromising and cool as Michael Caine's vengeance-driven character. Hodges directs this vicious British crime drama with an assurance that still holds up today, and with Caine on top form too, it was guaranteed that Get Carter would go down as one of the best examples of its genre.

Been trying to see this one for years! Gritty British crime drama starring Michael Caine, in a role I've never quite seen him in. Well done!! England's The Godfather!

A psychotic My Cocaine plays an anti-hero with no likable qualities in a film without any likable side characters. Some silly one-liners with naivety typical for the era, which are kind of funny ("Cause I know you wear purple underwear!"), but also kind of drop the film down with their serious and grim delivery. The problem I have with the film is that I am simply not a fan of the gangster genre - the morale always seems the same: the anti-hero eats it, his sins catch up with him type of a gig.

Grim, gritty, brutal, sleazy and peopled with an assortment of deeply unpleasant characters. It doesn't show the city where I live in a particularly positive light either. But it's good, driven by a performance by Caine at his very best, and tidy direction by Hodges, Not an easy film to get into, but worth sticking with.

Mike Hodges' 1971 masterpiece is so affecting simply because of two things: gritty direction and Caine spitting fire.

Nicely done in its building of tension through the film. Hodges also seems confident with his camera--lots of still shots, refusing to move the camera just because, but rather out of need. This stillness of the frame creates this tension, alongside Caine's relative quiet and calm. Thematically, the film seems to be a meditation on reaping and sowing, on how violence begets violence. I am troubled by the casual mix of sex and violence...endemic to early 70s filmmaking in reaction to Hayes code.
