Two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine rips into the role of Jack Carter in this legendary crime thriller marked by "brutal and gamy plot turns, excellent direction (and) a fast-moving screenplay" (Variety)! London mob strong-arm Carter is drawn north to Newcastle by his brother's death-which he doesn't believe is accidental. All too familiar with the ways of the mob, Carter single-mindedly, and single-handedly tears into the local crime syndicate with terrifying precision and cold enjoyment, hunting the identity of the killer and then the killer himself. But what Carter doesn't know is that corruption within the mob is widespread, high-ranked and may hit closer to home than he thinks!
