Ruthless London gangster Jack travels to Newcastle, his hometown, for his brother’s funeral. Though local police have ruled his death a suicide, Jack suspects foul play — and seeks vengeance. In search of the murderer, he embeds himself in Newcastle’s criminal underworld, where he uncovers lies, deceit, and brutality.

What are critics saying?
The New Yorker by Pauline Kael
So calculatedly cool and soulless and nastily erotic that it seems to belong to a new genre of virtuoso viciousness. What makes the movie unusual is the metallic elegance and the singleminded proficiency with which it adheres its sadism-for-the-connoisseur formula.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Get Carter has the sure feel for the underbelly of society, like the good American detective novelists have always had.
