Get Carter (DVD)

...salt, any question that doesn't get a suitable answer with just a question may well get a follow-up with a fist, a blunt instrument or, worse still, a gun. The Cast ======== Has there ever been an actor who can command a cinema screen with the grace and power of Michael Caine? Of course there have, but it is a question I wanted to ask. From the moment the film starts rolling, Caine dominates each scene in which he appears with what can only be ...

Review of Get Carter (DVD)
