Years ago, Jack Carter left his Seattle home to become a Las Vegas mob casino financial enforcer. He returns for the funeral of his brother Richard "Richie" after a car crash during a storm, atypical of the careful house-father.

Cliff Brumby, whose club Richie ran, is financially linked to porn and prostitution baron Cyrus Paice, who claims to be just a front-man for ITC tycoon Jeremy Kinnear. Someone hired goon Thorpey to make Jack return to Las Vegas. Jack's partner Con McCarty is restless, apparently about their boss Les Fletcher, whose wife had an affair with Jack. Someone breaks into Richie's home, looking for a crucial CD.

| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenWhile the look of the film is very stylish and the actors, including veteran actor Michael Caine, are good, the story and characterizations are a bit thin. |
| New York TimesElvis MitchellThe stylish murk seems to signal that everyone on the technical crew had his own agenda, each trying to outdo the others. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxGet Carter ultimately lacks the courage of its convictions: it can't stand to be thought of as the pulp it so clearly is. |
| Reel.comTor ThorsenStallone [is] saddled with a humorless story that bogs down into leaden melodrama early on and is tarted up with 21st-century bells and whistles like Internet porn and mysterious CD-ROMs. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickStallone's performance is unremarkable in every way, unless you count the disgusting veins protruding from his shoulders and arms. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis is a pointless B-film actioner, a remake of the gritty 1971 British noir classic directed by Mike Hodges. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesIf you strip the material of its ineffective level of performances, what we are left with is a concept that, at least at the core, is quite intriguing. |
| TNT RoughCutAndy KleinThe only fun is in watching Stallone square off against Alan Cumming and Mickey Rourke. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThis gloomy revenge thriller is a sadistic cartoon ... whose phony moral soft center ... really is the last straw. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroThe result is Get Carter for dummies, the biggest ones being those who pay to see it. It's also an incoherent, irredeemable mess. |
