Now being 20 years old , Get Carter has never really made me want to watch it , i love action films though.
Get carter is a British film , i may like it more , being 20 gives people the chance to tell me if i will like it at my age or not.

Honestly I haven't seen the original, but the "remake" was only okay. It had Stallone as Carter. It wasn't awful, but that was mostly because it had Michael Caine in it, who of course was the star of the original.

I'd say it

Starring Michael Caine as steely-eyed gangster Jack Carter has become slightly dated.

Blame this, not on the film's groovy early-'70s setting, but its somewhat squeamish attitude toward porn, which seems quaint in the age of "sexting" and Skype sex.

This is hardly a fatal blow to "Get Carter," which remains gritty and engrossing.

You root for Caine's Carter, even though he is a terrible person doing terrible things. After all, he sincerely cares about his niece (Petra Markham) — or is she his daughter? And if she throws a drink in your face at her presumed father's wake, Carter will slip some dough in your pocket for the cleaners.

A confident man who wears spiffy suits, Carter is also quite the Don Juan. In the short time he spends in Newcastle, he beds the proprietor (Rosemarie Dunham) of a bed and breakfast — she's no spring chicken, but looks good walking up the stairs — and a local thug's convertible-driving mistress (Geraldine Moffat). As if that isn't enough activity, Carter has phone sex with his London boss' wife (Britt Ekland).
