I’m not sure I get Get Carter. The gritty cinematography and Michael Caine’s fantastic performance were worth the price of admission, but it was hindered by frequent detours and a plot that seems like it should be simple but was quite hard to follow at times.
I wanted to feel more tension, either for Carter himself or for his foes/victims. The movie didn’t establish major stakes for either side. I ended up watching this with an idly curious detachment.
Definitely want to know more about those ore carts that just dump things into the sea, though. And I have questions about that restaurant development at the top of what looked like a perpetually empty parking garage.
