I don't get the critics.They kiss the asses of the most-heavy-handed crap.Yet condemm this gem of a flick.Shame it went to up against the ever-overatted Meet the parents.See which movie holds up better after repeated showings?

This movie has it all.Brutal fistfights,mystery,an awesome sountrack and a great cast.Stallone is great here.Mickey Rourke,Rachel Lee Cook,John McGuinly,Rhona Mitra, Miranda Richardson and Michael Caine.

It must have been Cause of Stallone.If this was Orlander Bloom,Clive Owen,or Denzel Washington the critics would love it.

Funny its on TV right now.

Give this movie a few years and it will hopefully find the appreaciation it deserves.

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.

No it won't because the 1971 original (& best) classic version has all the appreciation when it comes to "Get Carter".
