Brilliant noirish adaptation of Graham Greene's gritty novel with Attenborough superb as the psychopathic Pinky, a small time gangster and violent hood, who marries a witness to one of his crimes to keep her quiet. Disturbingly good.

GET CARTER (1971)
Certification18 Our Rating
Perhaps Caine's defining role as the ruthless London villain in Newcastle to sort out some gang bovver. When he finds out his niece has become embroiled with some very seedy characters, his involvement becomes far deeper. A violent and slick thriller with an excellent feel for both time and location and a comment on the despair of Britain in the 1970s.

Bob Hoskins is outstanding as the charismatic Cockney gang boss whose empire begins to inexplicably crumble around him as he tries to pull off an ambitious deal. Excellent acting, a gripping plot and an utterly convincing portrayal of the London underworld make this a truly remarkable gangster film.
