Get Carter
He's taking action with attitude to the next level.
Ask Las Vegas resident Jack Carter what he does for a living, and he'll explain he's a "financial adjuster." Pay what you owe, or Carter will adjust your arm, nose or spleen.
Plenty of adjusting awaits, including a change in Carter's own sense of honor and family - when Sylvester Stallone plays hard-edged, Carter in this sleek action thriller, co-starring Miranda Richardson, Rachael Leigh Cook, Alan Cumming, Mickey Rourke and Michael Caine (who headlined the 1971 version of Get Carter). Vegas muscle and glitz meets dot-com, triple-latte Seattle, as Carter prowls to smoke out his brother's killer. Thugs and killers may see Carter coming. But it's already too late to get out of his way.

I saw the original and liked it just fine. But even setting aside my worry about living up to the original, this one is just plain bad. While it has a lot of fun action scenes, including a couple of fun car chase sequences, the pace comes to a grinding halt when the dialogue starts. Stallone's not the greatest in speaking roles, and points at which he's asked to emote fall completely flat. The plot also goes completely sideways in the last 30 minutes, with gaping holes in the story that left me feeling a bit unclear about why characters are doing what they are.excellent remake - mission_chris
This is an excellent remake of 1971's Get Carter which starred Micheal Cain. Pretty much the same movie, just modernized for today. Great atmosphere and very entertaining. A must see for Stallone fans. One of his better films. I give it a strong 3 stars!!!
