WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

Gangster enforcer Jack Carter investigates the mysterious death of his brother, employing strong-arm tactics to infiltrate England's seedy underworld.

COOL FACTOR:

Shot against the stark Tyneside of the early 1970s, this gangster film is unforgettable for its plot, pace and cast, with Michael Caine every inch the sadistic thug who you can’t help but admire.

SCENE:

Naked with a shotgun! Hard to know which weapon is scarier.

TRIVIA!

•    The shotgun that Carter wields is never fired during the film.

•    In order to make use of the films locations, Director Mike Hodges rewrote some scenes in order to incorporate certain places.
