Michael Caine at his finest as Jack Carter. A masterclass in film making. Brilliant.

For some reason, the main review for this new 4K UHD release is encouraging people not to buy it because of supposed lacklustre picture quality. Rest assured, this is complete nonsense. This BFI release is as good as it gets and is far, far superior to any previous release. I can only assume the other reviewer is blind or has motion smoothing and/or gaming modes activated.

EDIT: And now another reviewer is complaining about the original mono soundtrack and not some reimagined multi-channel monstrosity being included.

A good example of a film where you actually get what you paid to see. Exciting British gangster films are few and far between, but this does deliver the goods. It also has enough good technique, direction, and photography — to make it all seem greater than the parts. Although the script has two main flaws. The first being a proper back story for Michael Caine, and the other is that it he is allowed to run amok about Newcastle almost unimpeded, despite carrying several weapons. There’s nobody about during the worst violence, as if everything was filmed on a quiet Sunday. It’s streets ahead of similar British films of the same period. And better than many American thrillers of that era. Most of this due to uncompromising violence and zero sentimentality. Well worth seeing, though it’s a depressing scenario. The grit is heavy enough that it borders on parody. John Osborne almost loses control in his scenes, descending into a stereotyped camp kingpin. It’s all rather moral though, being neatly wrapped up by the end, and most loose ends are tied up. The lesson is that no dark deed goes unpunished. The bleakness makes for a genre classic. Even if you dislike the film, you cannot help admire that such a thing was made at that time.

The best actor this country ever produced in the finest film. This film has no flaws and will stand the test of time. Unbelievable casting, unbelievable acting, storyline, characters, dialogue, fantastico. Who killed Caine s brother? the guy with eyes like pee holes in the snow. The ending was grim but how many did Carter kill to get his man? It was atmospheric, realistic, believable, and convincing. This is the best print I could find and a good 5 minutes longer than the censored British version at 112 mins. Carter was the gangster who returned home to find out what happened to his brother when no one wanted him too. A British masterpiece.

This is THE best British gangster movie. This is a genius performance by Michael Caine. It’s a very still, quiet performance, with amazing gravitas. The plot is twisty, and keeps one guessing until the end. The locations are a real snap-shot of Newcastle from a long gone time. It feels very real.

Michael Caine gives a truly magnificent performance and invents a new type of hero, the antihero. Jack Carter is a very, very violent man, with a heart. When his brother is murdered, Jack wants revenge, as he stalks his enemies delivering bloody retribution.

You may be asking, how can a violent killer be any kind of a hero. Jack is an avenger in that, he loves his family but really hates his enemies, and employs vicious means to exact retribution upon enemies who are not only vicious, but callously immoral also. He is neither hero nor villain but, the cause Jack fights for is the punishment of evil people and, he is one man against the mob.

One of my all time best films, superbly brought up to contemporary technical standards on Bluray.
Michael Caine should have got a BAFTA, at
least, as should the director .The camera work
was unforgettable.
