Noted for its realistic portrayal of violence and criminal behaviour and accurate depiction of class structure and life in 1970s britain, the film garnered a cult following in the early 90s following endorsements from directors such as quentin tarantino and guy ritchie and a 1993 home video release. By 1999, 'get carter' was ranked 16th on the bfi top 100 british films of the 20th century and is widely recognised as one of the greatest british crime films ever produced.
