It's ... been shorn of all the edginess and seedy, unsentimental plot elements that made the original a revered cult classic.

Stallone is so artificial, tanned and leathery you could replace his mouth with a zipper and sell him as a pocketbook.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Once again, [Stallone] cops out on shadows and dimension.
Gene Seymour, Newsday
Rotten
Stallone's Jack Carter can't shut up -- and his sentimental ramblings, accompanied by facial twitches that are apparently meant to approximate acting, are stupefying.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
The result is Get Carter for dummies, the biggest ones being those who pay to see it. It's also an incoherent, irredeemable mess.
