GET CARTER (1971)
Certification18 Our Rating
Perhaps Caine's defining role as the ruthless London villain in Newcastle to sort out some gang bovver. When he finds out his niece has become embroiled with some very seedy characters, his involvement becomes far deeper. A violent and slick thriller with an excellent feel for both time and location and a comment on the despair of Britain in the 1970s.

A formidable gangster thriller later to be cribbed by Tarantino.

TOUGH GUYS (1986)
Certification12 Our Rating
A perhaps ill advised, but nonetheless likable comedy from two of the greatest actors of the silver screen. Two legendary bank robbers are released on parole after their thirty year imprisonment and the lycra clad 1980's are something of a culture shock to our grizzled heroes. Frustrated and angry, the guys decide to embark on one final great heist, marginally impeded by their old nemesis and a virtually blind hitman.
