The Plot…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nJack Carter, a Vegas mob enforcer, returns to Seattle for his estranged brother, Ritchie’s funeral.\u00a0 Ritchie was killed in a car crash after drinking.\u00a0 Problem is Ritchie never drank.\u00a0 As Jack digs deeper, he starts to believe Ritchie was murdered.<\/p>\n
But why?<\/p>\n
Clues point in several directions.\u00a0 Ritchie’s death could have something to do with the club he managed.\u00a0 Cliff Bumbry, the owner of the club has his fingers in other pies.\u00a0 Did Ritchie have dirt on Cliff?<\/p>\n
Rumor is Ritchie was having an affair.\u00a0 Could that have led to Ritchie’s murder?<\/p>\n
Some leads point to tech millionaire Jeremy Kinnear.\u00a0 How were he and Ritchie linked?<\/p>\n
Worse still, Cyrus Paice may be involved.\u00a0 Paice was a rival of Jack’s when Jack was coming up.\u00a0 There’s still bad blood.<\/p>\n
As Jack digs deeper he will discover the truth.<\/p>\n
The truth hurts.<\/em><\/p>\nThoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nGet Carter<\/em> (2000) is a remake of Get Carter<\/em> (1971) which starred Michael Caine. Caine co-stars in the remake.\u00a0 Stallone and Caine also appeared together in Victory<\/em> (1981).\u00a0 Caine was originally only supposed to appear in a one scene cameo.\u00a0 The scene scored so high with test audiences, the film was adjusted to give Caine a bigger role.<\/p>\nWhen producers were hesitant to hire Mickey Rourke (because of his past behaviors), Stallone guaranteed a portion of his salary, to cover any delays caused by Rourke.\u00a0 Rourke was on-time and ready every day.<\/p>\n
Gretchen Mol plays an important role but is not listed in the film’s credits.<\/p>\n
Tom Sizemore’s voice (also uncredited) is heard when Carter talks to his Vegas boss.<\/p>\n
Director Stephen Kay appears uncredited as a party guest.\u00a0 Get Carter<\/em> features Stephen Kay’s second outing as a feature film director.\u00a0 Kay would go on to direct multiple highly rated episodes of The Shield; Sons of Anarchy; Yellowstone; Mayor of Kingstown; Lioness<\/em> and Landman<\/em>.<\/p>\nFrank Stallone appears uncredited in the funeral scene.<\/p>\n
Get Carter<\/em> (2000) is one of my all-time favorite films.\u00a0 The movie and especially Stallone’s character resonates with me.\u00a0 In it you’ll see some of Stallone’s best acting (especially the roof top scene with Rachael Leigh Cook).\u00a0 The film isn’t perfect or a classic, but it remains one of my go-to movies.\u00a0 Your mileage may vary (a lot on this one).<\/p>\nGet Carter (2000) <\/i><\/b>rates 5 of 5 stars<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_a.png\")
