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?

Isn't likely to satisfy either action buffs or the actor's fans.

Stylishly directed by Stephen Kay, the new Carter isn't half as bad as it could have been.

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

Rated: 1.5/4

A truly rotten remake of Michael Caine's classic 1971 UK gangster pic.

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.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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.
