after see this version of get carter and the original and i think they be both good in their own way . i do not think you can hate the new version and like the old version . they be both so similar that you can not hate the new one . you can prefer the old to the new though . personally i like the new get carter more . i think the original be good though . michael caine be good in his way . sly stallone be good in his own way . the stallone remake of get carter could have be a lot well . it be really the director fault if it be weak . you can blame the writer too . some line be pretty lousy . i think it be safe to say that the directing and write wasn not very good . you can blame them and but you can not blame stallone . he do the best he could with what he get . i think he be perfect for this kind of jack carter . not a dark one and but a good one . stallone carter be one that be try to do something right for once in his life . all his life he be a bad guy on the wrong side of the track and but now he go home and he try to make thing right . like caine carter and he not leave until he find out who kill his brother . no matter what and he go to make sure they pay . then when he find out what happen to his niece that really set him off and drive him even far . everyone responsible for the murder of richie and rape of doreen be go to pay . i find that scene on the rooftop with jack and his niece to be very touching . he be tell her how it wasn not her fault and rachel leigh cook really do come off a a girl that be rap . people have a problem with jack living in the end of this one . but what they do not realize be and get carter be like a western . the stranger rid in to town and make the bad guy pay and then rid off into the sunset when his work be do . it make you feel a lot well know that jack make all of the bad guy pay and finally find redemption in the end . i hat the end to the original because of how it just come out of nowhere . it make no sense . it be almost like they put that in there because they be force into it . michael caine jack carter do wrong and he still have to pay for it . michael caine do show in one scene that his jack do have a heart . when he see doreen be rap in that porn film and you can see him shed tear . stallone do not shed tear in the new version and but at that point he be angry and out for blood . he do get a little emotional on the rooftop with doreen though . in the caine version he never do see doreen again . there be more of a relationship between jack and doreen and i like that . in the new version you also get to see where richie wife and daughter be come from when jack show up after year . i never do get that feeling in the original . i like this movie and i think if people give it a chance they will like it too . the director and writer do almost ruin it . if not for the whole foundation of the story and for sylvester stallone and the movie wouldn not be good . personally i like sylvester stallone . when you see his wonderful rocky movie you can tell the guy get some heart . i never will forget him for make those rocky movie that i grow up watching and loving . some day i would like to meet sylvester stallone . by no mean be this movie as good a stallone classic . but it be almost as good a his decent action movie that come out in the 90 . this movie isn not up there with rambo iv . but if sylvester stallone have direct this movie and write it and it could have be a hell of a lot well . stallone have be approach to star in and direct a death wish remake . you have no reason to worry if it happen . stallone will be in the director chair this time . not stephen kay .
