Today is the day. 50 years since Get Carter went on general release to the UK movie going population. A film that still stands the test of time in 2021... https://t.co/KzXz8Lddyu #getcarter50
Double bill for the day: Get Carter (1971) & Dead Man's Shoes (2004). Gritty UK crime movies, where Sir Michael Caine and (not Sir yet) Paddy Considine, return to their old stomping grounds to avenge their wronged brothers. The first is Newcastle Noir, the second Peak Vengeance.
