HOT 4K NEWS







THE BRITISH Film Institute has scheduled the release of the British 1971 crime thriller “Get Carter” on 4K Ultra HD for July 25. Michael Caine is London gangster Jack Carter who returns to his hometown of Newcastle to avenge his brother’s death.


Shot on location, resulting in a devastatingly authentic snapshot of life in the north east of England in the late-industrial period, “Get Carter” remains arguably the grittiest and greatest of all British crime films.
