Now, he’s got the mob after him for skipping town (and sleeping with the boss’ wife), and a whole conspiracy of people around him, including old pal Cyrus (Rourke) and computer geek Kinnear (Cumming). Everybody’s out to Get Carter…but everybody should look out, because Carter is out for revenge. Based on the novel Jack’s Return Home by Ted Lewis.
