May 3, 2010In no way is it a terrible movie, in many ways it is really fun and a decent action movie. However, the fact that it is a remake of a classic doomed this from the beginning. No matter how awesome Sylvester Stallone is, it's seen as a copy and lower being. Sure it's not the most o... read more

October 28, 2009Average film, nothing special here. Leave your mind out the door if you decide to watch it.

September 6, 2009This action-packed remake of the 1971 cult classic brings back Michael Caine, this time in a memorable supporting role, while giving Sylvester Stallone his good role since Copland.

June 28, 2008A hard-edged, stylish and hard-hitting crime-thriller. It's a real intense and wickedly fun pot-boiler that packs a wallop. A gritty adreniline-pumping flick. A tough, suspensful and exhilerating thrill-ride. It packs action with a gritty film noir style. Sylvester Stallone gives... read more

March 21, 2008Enjoyable with a tasty plot. The downfall, as usual, is the actor's one-liners and his constant monotonous tone. The film is hard-hitting, brutal, and very entertaining. Worth seeing.

August 18, 2010I liked this movie and I'm sorry to say that I haven't seen the original 'Get Carter' movie, so I can't compare these two. This movie has many great actors starring in it and in my opinion they compliment each other very well. There are some great action scenes and a car chase wh... read more

Once again, [Stallone] cops out on shadows and dimension.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Stallone's Jack Carter can't shut up -- and his sentimental ramblings, accompanied by facial twitches that are apparently meant to approximate acting, are stupefying.

Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune
The result is Get Carter for dummies, the biggest ones being those who pay to see it. It's also an incoherent, irredeemable mess.

Sean Means, Film.com
The flash cannot make up for the dullness of the script ... and Stallone's emotional immobility.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Carter, who goes to Seattle to hunt down his brother's killer, may have entered a labyrinth of evil, but his response to it ... is as hollow as it is monolithic. Full Review

Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
The stylish murk seems to signal that everyone on the technical crew had his own agenda, each trying to outdo the others. Full Review

Bob Thomas, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
How does a numbing mishmash of a movie like this get made? Full Review

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
Stylishly directed by Stephen Kay, the new Carter isn't half as bad as it could have been. Full Review

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Director Stephen Kay obviously spent an inordinate amount of time studying The Limey ... but he learned all the wrong lessons.
