Get Carter
classified 18Please note: This was screened in June 2022
Mike Hodges’ seminal classic, perhaps the greatest of all British gangster films, has been newly restored in 4K to celebrate half a century since its initial release.
Sir Michael Caine is Jack Carter, the London gangland enforcer who returns to his hometown of Newcastle to avenge his brother’s untimely death.
Rarely has the criminal underworld been so realistically portrayed than in this 1971 masterpiece. Shot on location, resulting in a devastatingly authentic snapshot of life in the north east of England in the late-industrial period, Get Carter remains arguably the grittiest and greatest of all British crime films.
