	Radio Free Movie Review: Get Carter (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Carter's humanization is emphasized through the relationship he has with his brother's daughter (Rachel Leigh Cook), a young, confused girl he becomes a surrogate father to.
		Get Carter tries to straddle the fine line between mindless violence and a story about family and redemption, and for that, I feel it deserves a lot of credit.
		And for all the importance that is placed on Carter discovering his brother's killers, we never get a sense of the bond between him and his sibling.

	Cinema Confidential Review: Get Carter (2000)
		"Get Carter," by director Stephen Kay, is a remake of Michael Hodge's 1971 British gangster thriller starring Michael Caine as Carter, the crime hardened, merciless, vengeance seeking anti-hero.
		The new "Get Carter" attempts to provide similar social commentary about contemporary America (through targeting the plight of Internet porn) but seems to be less grounded on a "twisted society" backdrop.
		Carter's belief in redemption through vengeance is clear, but Sly, through all the chase scenes, all the interrogations, and all the ruthless beatings, seems to lack the complexity of character needed to fully illustrate the dynamic this false belief gives to Jack.

	Orbital Reviews: Get Carter (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Get Carter stars Sylvester Stallone in his first role since Copland in 1997 and is a remake of a 1971 film starring Michael Caine, who also makes a cameo appearance in the remake.
		Carter wastes little time in questioning everyone who was associated with his brother, but he finds few answers until making use of his considerable strength and threatening attitude in Get Carter.
		Get Carter has some horrible dialogue in the first twenty minutes, but the script improves considerably over the course of the movie.

	Get Carter (2000 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Get Carter is a 2000 remake of the classic 1971 Michael Caine crime thriller, this time with Sylvester Stallone in the role of Jack Carter, and directed by Stephen Kay.
		It was poorly received, especially by critics, who felt that it failed to live up to the original.
		The film also featured Miranda Richardson (Gloria Carter), Rachael Leigh Cook (Doreen Carter), Alan Cumming (Jeremy Kinnear), Mickey Rourke (Cyrus Paice), Rhona Mitra (Geraldine) and a brief cameo from Michael Caine (Cliff Brumby).

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Get Carter (2000)
		Get Carter –- the latest masterpiece from uber-thespian Sylvester Stallone –;- is a prime example of large and in charge 80’s action stars trying to fit back into action roles they have long since outgrown.
		Carter finds out that his brother was involved in some bad stuff with a slimy porn king played by ultra-cool, McQueen-esque Mickey Rourke, a multi-millionaire computer geek (Alan Cumming), and a strange foreign guy (Michael Caine) who speaks in riddles and talks tough.
		Actually, Get Carter is a remake of the 1971 British production of the same name, starring Caine in the title role (and what with his cameo here, the cleverness is astonishing).

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Get Carter (2000)
		I admittedly picked up "Get Carter" solely because the lovely Rachael Leigh Cook is in it, making this the fifth DVD I own featuring her in some capacity and the sixth I've seen.
		I enjoyed "Get Carter" enough that I don't regret taking the time to watch it, but I'm pretty sure I would've enjoyed the film considerably more if a couple additional months had been spent in pre-production getting things right.
		Video/Audio: The Super 35-tastic "Get Carter" is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and, as is to be expected from a new Warner release, is enhanced for widescreen televisions.

	Review of Get Carter, Oct. 12, 2000
		Jack Carter (Stallone) is muscle for a non-specific criminal element, enforcing the law of the lawless or something.
		All the while, his former employer is trying to track Carter down because either (a) he wants Carter back at work or (b) he suspects Carter of sleeping with his girlfriend.
		Get Carter is mostly about chasing and fighting and chasing and fighting and occasionally some shooting.

	Get Carter Greg's Preview - Yahoo! Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The original Get Carter is a lot like The Limey, the recent Terrence Stamp crime thriller about a British ex-con seeking revenge for the death of his daughter.
		A common thought is that the best movies to be remade are those that were flawed or standard the first time, in the hopes that the remake will be better.
		Get Carter is one of Michael Caine's most popular films; which puts a bit of a hex on the logic of remaking it.

	Liquidtheater.Com: Get Carter (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Get Carter had a mildly strong premise, which was enough to get a lot of the testosterone filled males of today into the seats, but then failed to deliver anything more.
		Get Carter starts off with a trendy enough introduction, but then we are given a taste of a wacky sidekick which doesn't help.
		Get Carter looked good as a one line story pitch, but when they actually had to fill in the details they really lost it.

		To make Jack Carter's life more complicated is the fact that people from Las Vegas are after him because he is trying to protect the woman of one of his employers because she is being mistreated.
		In the 1997 movie Cop Land Sylvester Stallone is the sheriff of a fictitious small town in New Jersey which is populated by NYPD cops.
		Get Carter (1971 or 2000) is not near the top of anyone's list of best Stallone movies, but it has enough to give a Stallone fan a fix until his next movie (animation films with his voice excepted) is released.

	Get Carter: Special Edition (2000)
		Get Carter remakes the 1971 Michael Caine movie of the same name but it tries desperately to provide some “new millennium” edge to the proceedings.
		I have no problem with movies that blend various genres, and action films don’t have to stay within their “boxes” to succeed.
		Get Carter appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	Amazon.com: DVD: Get Carter (1971) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In the 2000 film, a touch of pleasant humor and romance are thrown in, and it is clear that Carter (Stallone), despite the fact that he makes his living as an enforcer/gangster, is basically a nice guy; someone it is very important for us to like and identify with.
		Carter is a London gangster traveling north to the gritty, working class town of Newcastle to find out what happened to his brother, dead under strange circumstances.
		GET CARTER is as much a character study as it is a thriller.

	Review: Get Carter (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Get Carter is a revenge thriller in the tradition of Point Blank (which was remade with Mel Gibson as Payback), The Limey, and Death Wish.
		One of the many things missing from this version of Get Carter (aside from the taut pacing that characterized the original) is the subtext.
		The final third of Get Carter is oversaturated with unnecessary "stylish" flourishes that reduce the storyline to a confused muddle.

	Get Carter Movie Review
		The movie is a remake of an early 1970's British film of the same name starring Michael Caine in the lead role.
		The movie has some very modern characters in key roles including a computer geek billionaire along with other bad guys who are into things like the Internet, so I'm certain the story has at the very least been upgraded to be more contemporary.
		Get Carter moves kinda slow in several spots, this is not fast paced non-stop action by any means.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Get Carter
		If so, GET CARTER would appear to be a trend setter, as you couldn't find a more generic action thriller than GET CARTER.
		The problem with this line of reasoning is that movies like GET CARTER, starring pricey stars like Sylvester Stallone, can't be made on a pittance, so the tickets have to be full price if there is ever to be any hope of recouping the financial backers' investments.
		GET CARTER, as you may know, is a remake of perhaps the best known film of director Mike Hodges (CROUPIER).

	Top Box Office Movies - Get Carter
		After a five year absence from his brother's life, he returns and in the process of attempting to do justice, he stumbles upon confusing subplots such as pornographic internet fare, old acquaintances, and his niece who he saves from her own misery.
		Yet, be forewarned, perhaps this movie serves an introducer to the new style of Stallone films.
		But it is easy to see that it gets mixed up between being a crime thriller with a dash of action, or a plain crime drama.

	moviegurus.com - get carter (2000) movie review
		Get Carter is a crime/action flick that attempts to adopt the atmosphere of Pulp Fictionand fails.
		It's about a hitman, Jack Carter (Sylvester Stallone), who is obsessed with proving that his little brother was bagged and bagging the people who bagged his Ii'l bro.
		Now, before we stamp Get Carter as a total write-off, we should concede that there is one aspect of the movie that scores pretty decently in the coolness scale.

	Get Carter (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Jack Carter is a "financial adjustor" in Las Vegas; in other words, he's a mob goon who punches first and asks questions if he remembers to.
		Get Carter is just one in about five dozen moves to come out in the past couple of years to go a wee bit overboard on the flashy camera tricks, a part of cinema which I highly dislike and dock off some serious points for if I'm just annoyed enough.
		Get Carter has these in every nook and cranny, but up until the climactic scenes, I never once got sick of seeing the screen suddenly divide into three sections, jump cuts being used in stomach-churning car chases, and Kay turning the camera upside-down to represent Carter's world being messed with.

	Get Carter Movie Review
		It saddens me that Stallone's new film Get Carter is such a lame excuse for an action flick, because I was pulling for him on this one.
		Get Carter has a very strong cast including Mickey Rourke, Alan Cumming, and Michael Caine.
		Get Carter certainly isn't it and his next film Driven (a formula one racing picture from Renny Harlin) looks like a lemon from here.

	DVD Empire - Item - Get Carter (2000) / DVD-Video
		“Get Carter” was a movie that was vastly underrated at the box office.
		And if — by some wild strangeness of the universe — they did, then they didn’t bother with the extras” which would have resolved their questions (for me the movie answered all mine, but maybe it takes others longer to figure it out.) Simply put — this is an amazing movie.
		Forget that GET CARTER is a remake of a 1971 British classic starring Michael Cain.

		This is a snappy little soundtrack, even though it is one of those "music from and inspired by" collections.
		Okay, fine, good soundtrack, but there is one song in the movie that should have made the soundtrack.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Get Carter Movie Review
		Carter has problems, and his brother's death prompts meaningful reflection on the waste of his life.
		Flipside's grading system is a little deceptive here: I can't in good conscience give Get Carter a passing grade, but as a Bad Stallone Movie, it has its share of cheesy joys.
		Get Carter ultimately lacks the courage of its convictions: it can't stand to be thought of as the pulp it so clearly is. That's the twist that makes Bad Stallone Movies so perversely enjoyable, and what grants this latest effort a solid place among them.

		GET CARTER is the new Sylvester Stallone movie.
		Er, make that the only Sylvester Stallone movie, as Rocky J. Rambo ain't exactly been prolific lo these last few years.
		There ain't a memorable moment between 'em, at least for the first 50 minutes of the movie, which is exactly how long of a chance I gave my ass molecules to get excited.
