Critic Reviews

  • 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.

  • Bob Thomas, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    Maybe it's all the rain and leaden skies, but instead of conjuring up the rueful mood it's after, the film mostly just plays dark, wet, and heavy.

  • 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.

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

  • Dean M


    This 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 <i>Copland</i>.
