M (Violence & sex scenes)
Directed by Mike Hodges
Starring Michael Caine, Ian Hendry, John Osborne, Britt Ekland, Bryan Mosley
Opening Night screening of Academy's BAD BOYS OF THE 70s Film Festival, April 26th - May 11th. With GET CARTER, the spotlight is on Michael Caine.
Michael Caine is Jack Carter, the London gangland enforcer who returns to his hometown of Newcastle to avenge his brother’s death. Rarely has the criminal underworld been so realistically portrayed as in this 1971 masterpiece. Shot on location, resulting in a devastatingly authentic snapshot of life in the north east of England in the late-industrial period, GET CARTER remains arguably the grittiest and greatest of all British crime films.
Newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative by the BFI, and approved by director Mike Hodges, GET CARTER is back, looking and sounding better than ever.
