Musician and poet Jah Wobble talks to the BFI's Jason Wood about Mike Hodges's British gangster classic.

Get Carter is one of the greats of British cinema. Jack Carter (Caine), a London gangster, travels to Newcastle after his brother is killed in a supposed accident but Carter suspects that things may not be as they seem.

Using his documentary, realist aesthetic, Hodges’ first feature is a violent, uncompromising classic of the genre, featuring outstanding performances from Caine and Hendry, not to mention Newcastle itself, and is also notable for the extraordinarily quick turnaround from the book being published and the film being made (eight months).

This gritty British classic has finally been restored and a 4K Ultra HD Edition will be available from July 25th 2022. Order your copy here:
