...version of the classic movie Get Carter. For all you Stallone fans out there, you will love his new darker approach in this movie. Sporting an awful goatie, which doesn't quite suit him, he seems a lot more meaner, and proves he hasn't lost his intimidation skills.
When Carter Finds out his brother has been murdered, he flies back too seattle to search for the killers, and stops at nothing to get the answers to the questions he wants. He doesn't ... ...own. The film will get you guessing who the real killer is all the way through the movie. I was impressed to see that Micheal Cain from the original film also stars in this movie, along with Mickey Rourke, who's youthful good looks has definately gone down the pan..

DVD Description
Jack Carter's brother is dead. And Jack (Sylvester Stallone) wants to know why. A Las Vegas mob enforcer, he carefully packs his guns and sets off for Seattle by train. At the funeral, he discovers his brother was full of alcohol when he died in a car accident. But according to his niece, Doreen (Rachael Leigh Cook), his brother didn't drink. Jack starts on a tortuous trail that leads, via gang boss Brumby (Michael Caine) and porno-loving thug Cyrus Paice (Mickey Rourke), to a Seattle computer billionaire named Jeremy Kinnear (Alan Cumming). Among those trying to "get Carter" is Con (John C. McGinley), another enforcer from Las Vegas. GET CARTER is the second remake of the bleak and gritty 1971 thriller of the same title. In the original, directed by Mike Hodges, Michael Caine played Carter. The first remake was George Armitage's 1972 film HIT MAN. Scriptwriter David McKenna and director Stephen T. Kay have shifted the location of this GET CARTER to the Pacific Northwest.
