Get Carter (1971)


IMDb plot summary: When his brother dies under mysterious circumstances in a car accident, London gangster Jack Carter travels to Newcastle to investigate.
Directed by Mike Hodges. Starring Michael Caine, Ian Hendry, Britt Ekland, and John Osborne.

Oh my goodness. This was not pleasant at all. Such a... grimy feel to it, both in terms of the visuals and the plots and the casual sexism and violence toward women. It has some great camera framing moments, but those don't make up for the rest of the movie.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Get Carter < Gifted
Get Carter < Maggie's Plan
Get Carter > Hamlet 2
Get Carter < Anastasia
Get Carter > Dumb and Dumber
Get Carter > Annie (1999)
Get Carter < Steel Magnolias
Get Carter < Mannequin
Get Carter > Roger Dodger
Get Carter > Cujo
Get Carter > I Accuse My Parents

Final spot: #2263 out of 2745.
