Critics' reviews

"Carter, of course, is a paragon of strength, intelligence, ruthlessness, sexual attraction and even a dry sense of humour. Michael Caine does well to portray him impassively, as if he feared to burst out laughing"

Telegraph
"There's no mistaking its chilling charisma and style."

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"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."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"So calculatedly cool and soulless and nastily erotic that it seems to belong to a new genre of virtuoso viciousness"

Pauline Kael: The New Yorker
"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. (...) bloody and incoherent."

Elvis Mitchell: The New York Times
"You can practically taste the grit and grime of the mean streets of this North of England setting"

John Doyle: The Globe and Mail
"A useless remake (...) [It] lacks excitement, credibility, suspense, character insight or anything else that might conceivably engage viewers"

Todd McCarthy: Variety
