As a Sylvester Stallone fan, the UK, and Glasgow in particular, is a bad place to live. 'Get Carter' was never released in British cinemas (as far as I know), 'Driven' did not play in any of the Glaswegian cinemas, and 'D-Tox' could be seen in Glasgow for one entire week! Needless to say that I was not able to visit my local cinema during the 7 days the latter was playing.
I bought the DVD of 'Get Carter' in Holland last week, since the British DVD release date still lies 2 months ahead of us. Of course I had high expectations of this film since it was the first new Stallone film I had seen since 'Cop Land' but I should have known better. Sometimes the critics are right!
Although the film really tries to be 'stylish', with its strange camera and editing effects, it cannot hide the fact that we do not really care about what is happening. At least the film is fairly short, which does not make it too boring, but this Stallone vehicle is offensively mediocre!
