Get Carter

Dir. Mike Hodges

UK 1971 | Colour | 11 mins | Cert 18

Cast: Michael Caine, Britt Ekland

This powerfully resonant cult British gangster movie has Caine as a London hit-man heading for Newcastle to avenge his brother’s death. Along the way he uncovers a paedophile ring involving his niece. Writer/director Hodges created the seminal British thriller of the 70s, eliciting a superb performance from Caine, and brilliantly capturing the brooding cityscapes of Newcastle.
