In 1971 Caine took a dark turn into the world of organized crime with his film Get Carter. This film is celebrating it's 54th anniversary. And for such an anniversary Warner Archive Collection have decided to restore and release this film on 4k UltraHD!
Synopsis: London mob strong-arm Carter is drawn north of Newcastle by his brother's death - which he doesn't believe is accidental. All too familiar with the ways of the mob, Carter single-mindedly - and single-handedly - tears into the local crime syndicate with terrifying precision and cold enjoyment, hunting the identity of the killer and then the killer himself. But what Carter doesn't know is the corruption within the mob is widespread, high-ranked and may hit closer to home than he thinks!
In Get Carter Micheal Caine delivers one of his best, if not his best performances of his career. The film is raw and gritty. The writing is good and the direction is spectacular. This is a real thrilling piece of cinema!
Get Carter has been restored and transferred to 4K in 2160p and presented in 1.85:1 aspect ratio. There are two audio options available on his disc. There is the original theatrical DTS-HD Master audio 2.0 and the new Dolby Atmos TrueHD track. There are also English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Get Carter looks absolutely stunning in 4k! Watching this film now in 4k is like seeing a whole new film. In addition to the film being restored and released on 4k Warner Archive Collection added some really nice bonus features to this 4k release. Take a look at what is included.
