Get Carter is arguably Michael Caine's best film, and one of my favourites.
It was a revenge story, not a vigilante movie like Harry Brown, but how do you think the two compare? -

I much prefer Get Carter, it was just much gritter and real feeling. The people he kills in Get Carter, they beg for their lives, there's doubt they are guilty, they are only remotely involved, and usually aren't any sort of direct threat. But none of that matters, he throws the guy off a roof, drowns his daughter's ex in the trunk of a car, stabs his own friend, etc. Harry Brown was basically John Wick with a pensioner. The violence in Get Carter felt very reality based.

This is nonsense, the people Jack Carter kills are all involved in prostituting his niece which leads to the murder of his brother. His 'daughter's ex'? He doesn't have a daughter, plus he doesn't kill her the car is pushed off the harbour by his mates from London. You need to watch Get Carter again by the sounds of it.
