Get Carter Movie Download

“My brother died the other night, and now I’m here.”
I guess my disadvantage here is in not seeing the original film. With that in mind, I noticed a darker, though not as expressive Sylvester Stallone parlay his Carter character into a revenge machine out to get the goons who murdered his brother. Unlike John Rambo, who was minding his own business (at least in the first film) when his buttons were pushed, this incarnation is looking for trouble right from the get go. Though he might have had a clever one liner or two, I didn’t get any sense of charisma from Jack Carter, and you have to wonder if the problem with the character was with Stallone’s interpretation or the director’s. So I guess that’s why you had all the fancy camera work, slick angles and stylized editing, especially in the second half where it looked like the original picture might have transitioned into something else. I liked John McGinley as Connie-Conna-Wanna-Do-Da-Day, and Mickey Rourke, already beefing up for “The Wrestler”. Some decent fight action and car chase stuff here, but you’ve probably seen it before. But it’s not so bad I wouldn’t say stay away to anyone other than Michael Caine.Read More
