It wallows in its ceaseless bloodbath and emerges like its protagonist -- sleazy and second-rate.

Out of the Past
A film of exceptional viciousness and mordant humor, which single-handedly blew the bloody doors off British crime films of the era.

Ranks up there with the likes of The Long Good Friday as one of the finest home grown films of the past 30 years.

Rating: 4/4 --
While Caine would like to think of himself as one of Chandler's or Hammett's lonely avengers, he is really nothing more than a vicious brute with a warped sense of honor, trapped between the past and the present.

Product Description:
A small-time street tough from London finds himself enmeshed in a web of deceit, blackmail, and murder when he investigates the circumstances surrounding the death of his brother in Newcastle. GET CARTER is a hard-as-nails British crime movie, featuring a brutal performance by Michael Caine that stands as one of his best. The film is based on the novel JACK'S RETURN HOME by Ted Lewis. It was remade for a blaxploitation audience a year later as HIT MAN, and in 2000 Sylvester Stallone starred in a remake, with Michael Caine making an appearance in the film as well.
