Get Carter is a classic British crime film from 1971 starring Michael Caine.

The brother of hitman Jack Carter (played by Michael Caine) dies in a car accident. When he travels to Newcastle to investigate the circumstances of the accident, he becomes involved in shady practices in the underworld. The more he learns, the more bent on revenge he becomes.

The film was directed by Mike Hodges and, in addition to Caine, featured strong performances from Ian Hendry, John Osborne, and Britt Ekland.

The atmospheric music is by Roy Budd, who, in addition to being the composer of films such as The Wild Geese, Fear is The Key, The Sea Wolves, and Who Dares Wins, is also a jazz pianist. The film became a major success and is considered one of the highlights of British cinema of the 1970s.

In 2000, Sylvester Stallone made a remake that was poorly received by critics and was not successful in theaters.
