Get Carter and The Italian Job - a comparison

Yesterday we watched the beginning to a film named Get Carter, starring Michael Mccain. Previously, we had watched the opening to The Italian Job, also starring Mccain, about a similar subject of crime but the films were portrayed very differently. The Italian Job demonstrated a much more glamourous stance on crime- lots of beating up 'bad guys' and women. Get Carter was much more gritty and violent, showing the dangerous and dramatic side of crime. It was interesting to see Mccains portrayal in both film because he had to play different, very opposite characters making the two films almost juxtapose with each other.
