50 Stallone Movies Ranked From Best To Worst

22) GET CARTER (2000)

This film had several large targets all over its back.  Firstly, it was a remake of the original, a film that needs no introduction.  Secondly, it was a Stallone movie.  Third, it came out during Stallone hunting season; that is the era when Stallone was down and his detractors couldn’t shit on him enough for it.  I must admit, I didn’t care for it much myself initially – I might even have been affected by the negativity of so-called ‘critics’.  Today, it’s a different story.  I now view the film not as poor, but as most definitely watchable and competent, a real straight forward manly movie. Take this exchange between Stallone and Michael Caine as an example:

Caine: You know Jack… revenge… it doesn’t work.
Stallone: … (loading firearm)
Stallone: … Sure it does.

Now this frank, ballsy, unashamedly straight forward wording is not the type to leave an impression on people who sit around sipping wine after a movie, contemplating perceived subtexts or philosophical messages (which usually don’t exist anyway).  But it is the type of exchange that’ll leave an impression on people who like to watch such movies while getting fucked up on whiskey and Miller.  Its target audience.  Like the readers of this site.
