 | Cape Fear is a heck of a joyride. Scorcese's remake is brutal, fast paced, and quite creepy. Deniro is mennacing, repulsive, and mesmerising in his role. Great cameos from the two original actors, (Gregory Peck & Robert Mitchum). The music is explosive and the performances are just as good. Good to see the wonderful Jessica Lange exhibit her acting talents, far much greater then the lame King Kong remake in 1977. The true diamond in the rough is Juliette Lewis's performance. Outstanding as the easily deceived and young daughter of Sam Bowden,(Nolte). This film at times may be predictable, but you honestly are glued to this film, and hoping Nick Noltle prevails and rid of this creep. Max Cady, (DeNiro), ranks up there with Freddy, Michael, Jason, but Max is human, and he can be stopped. If I was a lawer, I wouldn't have messed with this guy by any means. Have a good time......I did! |

| Martin Scorsese directs this masterpiece with the best music by far that I have ever heard. De Niro stars as Max Caddy, a man accused of rape who spends 14 years in prison. When out, he decides that he wants to take out revenge on his lawyer (Nick Nolte) and his family (Jessica Lainge and Juliette Lewis) because he thinks that it is his lawyer's fault that he spent so long in prison. Caddy is a beast with so many tatoos that one detective says : "I don't know whether to read him or to look at him." His tatoos are very neat and it makes him look even more brutal. During the course of this movie, I hated him at times and then asked myself if maybe he didn't do this rape. You start to wonder, that maybe he was turned into a beast alone in prison where he tells his lawyer that he was sodomized. De Niro deserved an oscar nomination for his amazing performance even though he would have lost to Anthony Hopkins. Nolte must face Caddy but must also face his marriage as it is falling apart. You don't really even like Nolte's character either as he has cheated on his wife and tries to bribe Caddy with money. The story was suspensful, but also tragic to me as I wondered if Caddy was wrongfully accused. The movie has one very thrilling scene towards the end which I won't give away and after the movie, I was very pleased with this fantastic film. The movie shows a tale of revenge, in which the bad guy is really evil at one scene but then you pitty him at the next. |

| Deniro is one of the best actors in movie history, and he is alot more frightening than the original max cady (the orginal movie is alot older but still an excellent film. But of course since this was done in 92, or somewhere around there, they could play around a lot more with the violence parts in which the most disturbing and graphic is when he viciously attacks the young woman that knew nick nolte. It's very graphic when he breaks her arm and literally bites a chunk of flesh from her face and splits it into the air with blood on his mouth, is a bit much to stomach, and must admit it went a little too far, but it was a brilliant way to show what a true monster max cady really is and his lack of any respect for women. But you pretty much knew before that scene that he was a rapist and later on he is a killer when they discover he killed an inmate and bit his tongue off. These type of violent rapists do exist in the real world, the kind that are so vicious that more than one behavior is expressed in each crime they committ. The sadistic kind love to torture their victim by biting and mutilating and breaking bones, and then raping, so that they can inflict as much pain as possible, which is of course max cady. But it is a movie, and Deniro is great. As always. |

| I just received my "10th Anniversary Edition" of Cape Fear.
Don't be fooled. This is the EXACT same version that was previously released on DVD. I compared it to the original release that I already own.
Nowhere does this edition mention "10th anniversary", and the extras specified are the same as well. Somebody messed up. If you already own it, skip this supposedly new release (Feb., '05). There's nothing new or different about it.
However, if you've never seen it, or if you are a fan of this film, I would recommend buying Cape Fear. It's an edge of your seat thriller with fine acting by all, and deserves a place in your film library.
