Michael Caine leads the list of greatest movie bastards

MICHAEL CAINE’s role in the classic Get Carter has earned the title of nastiest screen character of all time.

As the eponymous Jack Carter he became a legendary anti-hero. Throwing an adversary from the top of a car park is just one of his remorseless acts of violence.

He was chosen by movie experts at Total Film magazine, who have compiled a countdown of the all-time greatest screen ‘bastards’.
