60Kay doesn't seem to know the meaning of moderation.
-
50A thuddingly dull remake of the 1971 crime drama starring Michael Caine.
-
50The only fun is in watching Stallone square off against Alan Cumming and Mickey Rourke.
-
50If the film doesn't touch the original, it doesn't hit rock bottom, either.
-
50It is not a terrible movie, and Stallone has appeared in far worse. It's just that, although diverting, it's too routine for its own good.
-
42The movie around Stallone is fairly dreadful, so overly stylized and poorly written that it's always a struggle to stay oriented.
-
41McKenna's script is a frayed string and a contextual nightmare, peppered with puzzling references to the first film in a lame attempt at homage.
-
40Shot in shades of steely gray and streaked with near-constant rain, this gloomy revenge thriller is a sadistic cartoon.
-
40The film itself is a muddle, all rapid-fire step-edits and grainy, blue-filtered hokum. What is good is Stallone.
-
38A sodden-looking film.
-
30Stallone returns in a gangster remake that wears itself (and the audience) out trying to be cutting-edge stylish.
-
30It's almost always night and almost always raining.
-
25Should you get Carter? Sure - but make it the Michael Caine classic Warner Bros. is releasing on video next week.
-
25This noir mystery is murkier than it needs to be, through no fault of Stallone's.
-
20If you've never seen the original, you may have no idea what's going on.
-
20Sly, slick and slow.
-
20A useless remake of Mike Hodges' 1971 British gangland cult classic.
-
20If there's one piece of wisdom to be culled from this botched project, it's this: No one gets Carter.
-
12The result is a throwaway story hidden beneath a messy jumble of weird camera angles, worthless editing tricks and an ill-placed, obnoxious score.
-
10So minimally plotted that not only does it lack subtext or context, but it also may be the world's first movie without even a text.
