When Jack Carter comes to Newcastle to inquire about his brother's mysterious death, racketeers think they can threaten him, rough him up, shoo him away like a fly.Which shows they don't know jack about Carter.
Double Academy Award winner Michael Caine plays the relentless title character in this gritty neo-noir (Sylvester Stallone stars in a 2000 remake).Caine's Carter is a sharp portrait of cold-blooded precision as he connects the dots of a cover-up that leads to a pornography ring (John Osborne, whose Look Back In Anger launched Britain's "Angry Young Man" era, plays the flesh peddlers' ringleader).Revenge is sweet for Carter.But in the hard world of latter-day film noir, sweet is sure to turn suddenly, violently sour.
