How does a numbing mishmash of a movie like this get made?

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 19, 2002

Stallone's Jack Carter can't shut up -- and his sentimental ramblings, accompanied by facial twitches that are apparently meant to approximate acting, are stupefying.

Director Stephen Kay obviously spent an inordinate amount of time studying The Limey ... but he learned all the wrong lessons.

The result is Get Carter for dummies, the biggest ones being those who pay to see it. It's also an incoherent, irredeemable mess.

Stallone is so artificial, tanned and leathery you could replace his mouth with a zipper and sell him as a pocketbook.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Maybe it's all the rain and leaden skies, but instead of conjuring up the rueful mood it's after, the film mostly just plays dark, wet, and heavy.

It's ... been shorn of all the edginess and seedy, unsentimental plot elements that made the original a revered cult classic.

Once again, [Stallone] cops out on shadows and dimension.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Moves along with virtually no rhythm, no suspense, and no spark from the morose, goateed star.

The stylish murk seems to signal that everyone on the technical crew had his own agenda, each trying to outdo the others.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

It is not a terrible movie, and Stallone has appeared in far worse. It's just that, although diverting, it's too routine for its own good.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Carter, who goes to Seattle to hunt down his brother's killer, may have entered a labyrinth of evil, but his response to it ... is as hollow as it is monolithic.

Isn't likely to satisfy either action buffs or the actor's fans.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Stylishly directed by Stephen Kay, the new Carter isn't half as bad as it could have been.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

The flash cannot make up for the dullness of the script ... and Stallone's emotional immobility.
