The picture above appears twice [once in the table of contents and again as a TWO page spread] in the premiere issue of Total Movie<\/b>. Here’s their take on<\/p>\n
Get Carter<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n IN A NUTSHELL: Back on the screen for the first time since 1997’s Cop Land<\/b>, STALLONE<\/b> heads up this remake of the 1971 MICHAEL CAINE<\/b> classic as Jack Carter<\/b>, a bad-ass New York mob enforcer who travels to Los Angeles to kill the sons-of-bitches who murdered his brother. Heads are cracked, asses are kicked and bad guys throughly pummeled as Carter goes on a vengence-fueled rampage though LA’s criminal underworld.<\/p>\n POTENTIAL: The script’s written by TED LEWIS<\/b>, who wrote the orginal, and DAVID McKENNA<\/b>, who wrote American History X<\/b> – a promising team. STEVEN SODERBERG<\/b>‘s awesome The Limey<\/b> proved that these old-school one-man-army thrillers can still pay off in spades, so our hopes are high. And yes, MICHAEL CAINE<\/b> is back, too.<\/p>\n PITTFALLS: Even MEL GIBSON<\/b> had a hard time getting audiences to root for the bad guy in the underrated Payback<\/b>, so what chance STALLONE<\/b>? In the 1990s he served up such crud as Judge Dredd<\/b>, Assassins<\/b>, Daylight<\/b>, Oscar<\/b>, The Specialist<\/b>, and Cliffhanger<\/b> (come on, it was crap) – not exactly encouraging evidence of his choices of material. Oh, and MICKEY ROURKE<\/b>‘s in it.<\/p>\n TOTAL MOVIE SAYS: Go and rent the original for an idea about why we’re excited to see this one – STALLONE<\/b>‘s stepped in a few turds lately, true, but we have a feeling this hard-edged crime caper will prove that he can still get it done.<\/p>\n The editors are pretty down on many of SLY<\/b>‘s movies yet they still eagerly anticpate “Get Carter”<\/b> – I think that says a lot about the potential of this movie. I’m looking forward to this as much as I did “Cop Land”<\/b> and feel that it has the potential to be as good [or even better].<\/p>\n This is Total Movie<\/b>‘s first issue and it is very impressive… enough so that I plan to subscribe. It’s worth checking out but be sure that if you purchase an issue it is still in a plastic bag with a dvd attached. The dvd contains over two hours of movie previews, behind the scenes material and more! The first store I went to had only opened copies and all the dvds were missing!<\/p>\n \n – Craig Zablo<\/b> [September 23, 2000]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The picture above appears twice [once in the table of contents and again as a TWO page spread] in the premiere issue of Total Movie.
