'''Get Carter''' (1971) is a seminal [[British]] gangster film. Based on the novel ''Jack's Return Home'' (1970) by Ted Lewis, and directed by Mike Hodges, it tells the story of London gangster Jack Carter (played by [[Michael Caine]])who returns to his home town to investigate and avenge the death of his brother, Frank. Initially ill-received, it has since been recognised as a classic of its genre, for its [[film noire]] style, the unrelieved bleakness of its message, and the iconic use of the location shooting, in the industrial surroundings of [[Tyneside]] in north-east [[England]]. Apart from Caine, other major [[actor]]s cast in the film included Ian Hendry, Britt Eckland, Brian Mosley (whose character Cliff Brumby was thrown to his death by Carter from the top of a multi-storey car park), and the playwright/actor [[John Osborne]].
