Anybody catch this one? Smaller flick. Kind of like a british Death Wish, though the storyline is closer to Death Wish 3, the tone and seriousness is very Death Wish 1. Michael Caine is a retired veteran of the Royal Marines and is fed up with gang violence. After a very good scene showing what lengths he has to go to to acquire a gun in the UK (very illegal), he goes on to give what I feel is the best performance in one of these types of films in what I feel is one of the best of these types of films. Highly recommended.

Seen it...good film, haven't seen Michael Caine is a truly serious role in a longtime.

I think he was a Royal Marine in the movie. I have met some of those guys and some former SAS. While I'm not too sure they need to be in Northern Ireland, on a personal level I found them to be great guys and I sure as Hell respect them.

Good movie. I also saw Salt recently...another good little action flick.

The only thing that keeps it from being a great movie is the crappy cgi animated blood. Same with The Expendables. All they had to do was spend the extra cash on the blood bags. Other than that its a good movie. The original Get Carter is great too, I saw it on netflix instant watch about 2 months ago.
