Critics Consensus

Michael Caine shows up to collect a paycheck, and so does everyone else in this rote, middling remake.

How does a numbing mishmash of a movie like this get made?

It's ... been shorn of all the edginess and seedy, unsentimental plot elements that made the original a revered cult classic.

Moves along with virtually no rhythm, no suspense, and no spark from the morose, goateed star.

…the first Get Carter took a minimalist storyline and hung all kinds of memorable details on it; this version is bland and anonymous…the first film had has a mordant black wit that’s horribly garbled here…

...a mostly sluggish thriller that fares especially poorly within its meandering and uninvolving first half...

Sly was.totally miscast. Caine played the original to perfection. Less is more etc. Sly was playing Rocky or Rambo all over again and not very well. The director and screenwriter were pants as well.

Such a poor movie. 1st 15 minutes watching a funeral and after that only bla bla.. i stopped watching after 35 minutes. Maybe the worst movie from stallone. In the 1st 35 minutes nothing happend .. going to church is more spectacular

As far as action/crime films go, this was a very standard affair. Not great, not horrible, just standard.

Damn this is bad. Sly is only good for playing the crazy dude or the punching ball. Waste of time and money.

Stallone is going through the motions but the script does no one any favors.
