Get Carter
Yawn. I'm sorry... although I don't find it totally unwatchable, I juz wasn't impressed. There's nothing in this movie that even Stallone or Mickey can save. Sure, the movie might do some good in teaching little children about bad guys out there doing bad things to little girls. But I'm only willing to sit through this movie juz once to watch Mickey. C'mon, some of Mickey's made-for-tv films were more interesting than this one.

Stallone never looked better. I think he's aging rather nicely. I was never a fan of his younger days Rambo look.

The Greatest Movie Ever, Stallone's Performance Is Amazing!

Jack Carter (SYLVESTER STALLONE) has spent his life collecting for other people -- debts, agendas, retribution. He stands alone and always stands apart. But when his brother is killed in an accident, it takes Carter home... to the family he abandoned, to the debts that were never paid, and a mystery that will take him to the center of his own soul. For Jack, the trip home to Seattle is a second chance to make amends for past mistakes. He re-connects with his brother's wife, Gloria (MIRANDA RICHARDSON), and her teenage daughter, Doreen (RACHAEL LEIGH COOK), who are both suspicious of his sudden interest.
