A gritty and disturbing gangster crime drama starring Sir Michael Caine as Jack Carter. A London gang member returns to his homeland of Newcastle to attend his brother Frank's funeral, and to investigate and avenge his untimely death. Taking no-one's word as the truth, he begins to retrace Frank's contacts in the criminal underworld, uncovering a story of sexual abuse and murder. The film culminates in a brutal attack by Jack against the culprit, and a shocking final assassination.
At the time of release the film received mixed critical acclaim. Since its 1971 release however, film critics and industry experts have hailed it as a great piece of British cinema, ranking it 32 in a 2011 Time Out Top 100 Best British Films poll.
