The
Story Line:
Jack Carter (SYLVESTER STALLONE) has spent his
life collecting for other people ?debts, agendas, retribution.
He stands alone and always stands apart. But when his brother is
killed in an accident, it takes Carter home ... to the family he
abandoned, to the debts that were never paid, and a mystery that
will take him to the center of his own soul.
For Jack, the trip home to Seattle is a second chance to
make amends for past mistakes. He re-connects with his brother's
wife, Gloria (MIRANDA RICHARDSON), and her teenage daughter, Doreen
(RACHAEL LEIGH COOK), who are both suspicious of his sudden interest.
But when he discovers that his brother's death has murder written
all over it, his purpose quickly changes from redemption to revenge.
Jack forms an uneasy truce with Doreen, and soon she is helping
him navigate the seamy underbelly of the city, through a deceptive
world where nothing is what it seems. Carter is inclined to mete
out his own brand of justice to the guilty; but the closer he gets
to the truth, the more he questions his own motives, and instead
of vengeance, he finds forgiveness and, ultimately, redemption.
Sylvester Stallone stars in "Get Carter," a new
action thriller from Mark Canton Productions Inc. and Franchise

Suicide") from a screenplay by David McKENNA ("American

millionaire with a seedy sideline; MICKEY ROURKE ("The Rainmaker")
as Cyrus Paice, the mobster who helps to spin the evil web
that destroyed Carter's family; RHONA MITRA ("The Hollow Man")
as the mysterious Geraldine, a woman closely connected to Carter's
murdered brother; and JOHNNY STRONG ("Don't Eat Chili At The
Detour Diner") as Eddie, one of the club's unsavory employees.
Appearing in the role of Carter's seductive Vegas love interest
is GRETCHEN MOL ("Rounders").
The film is produced by Mark Canton, Elie Samaha and Neil
