Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
The film itself is a muddle, all rapid-fire step-edits and grainy, blue-filtered hokum. What is good is Stallone. Read full review

Boston GlobeJay Carr
A sodden-looking film.

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
It's almost always night and almost always raining. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
The only fun is in watching Stallone square off against Alan Cumming and Mickey Rourke. Read full review

Sly, slick and slow. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyJohn Patterson
If you've never seen the original, you may have no idea what's going on. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
It is not a terrible movie, and Stallone has appeared in far worse. It's just that, although diverting, it's too routine for its own good. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizLarry Terenzi
McKenna's script is a frayed string and a contextual nightmare, peppered with puzzling references to the first film in a lame attempt at homage.

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
The result is a throwaway story hidden beneath a messy jumble of weird camera angles, worthless editing tricks and an ill-placed, obnoxious score.

New York PostLou Lumenick
Should you get Carter? Sure - but make it the Michael Caine classic Warner Bros. is releasing on video next week.

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
A thuddingly dull remake of the 1971 crime drama starring Michael Caine.

Portland OregonianShawn Levy
If the film doesn't touch the original, it doesn't hit rock bottom, either.

SalonCharles Taylor
Stallone returns in a gangster remake that wears itself (and the audience) out trying to be cutting-edge stylish. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleBob Graham
This noir mystery is murkier than it needs to be, through no fault of Stallone's. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
The movie around Stallone is fairly dreadful, so overly stylized and poorly written that it's always a struggle to stay oriented. Read full review

The New York TimesA.O. Scott
So minimally plotted that not only does it lack subtext or context, but it also may be the world's first movie without even a text. Read full review

TNT RoughCutAndy Klein
Kay doesn't seem to know the meaning of moderation.

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Shot in shades of steely gray and streaked with near-constant rain, this gloomy revenge thriller is a sadistic cartoon. Read full review

VarietyTodd McCarthy
A useless remake of Mike Hodges' 1971 British gangland cult classic. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
If there's one piece of wisdom to be culled from this botched project, it's this: No one gets Carter. Read full review
