Movie Reviews of Cape Fear
Movie Review: "The Best Movie Remake!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hollywood has never really done remakes all that good over the years, but the 1991 film "Cape Fear" proves that statement false. This movie totally outshines the original, made in 1962. The original "Cape Fear" was excellent too, but the 1991 version has more action and suspense.
Robert DeNiro, Nick Nolte, and Jessica Lange are the stars here and what's amazing while watching this film you forget they are stars. These actors are totally into their characters, and you forget that you are watching actors playing these roles. These roles spring to life, which is a testament to the kinds of actors in this motion picture. Mortin Scorse directed "Cape Fear", and it's one of his best works.
The movie is not for the squeamish. Robert DeNiro plays one of the most heartless villins in movie hostory, as he wants to wreak vengence on Sam Bowden and his family. Many years before Sam defended Max Cady in a rape trial and hid evidence that could have gotten him off. Max then spent years in prison, and now that he's a free man all he has on his mind is to get even.
The most disturbing part of the film is when Max picks up a woman at a bar who works with Sam in his law firm. The battery and rape scene is extremely disturbing and graphic, but it had to be filmed to depict the kind of animal Max Cady is.
Juliette Lewis stars as the Bowden's daughter, and it's one of her first movie roles. Her portrayal as a teenager is a dead ringer for people in her generation. Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, who starred in the original "Cape Fear", have supporting roles in the newer version.
The DVD is spectacular with commentary, trailers, and a documentary with the cast and crew on the making of the film.
Robert DeNiro, my favorite actor ever, received an Oscar nomination as Best Actor, but lost that year to another villin, played by Anthony Hopkins for "The Silence of the Lambs".
Summary of Cape Fear
A recently-released rapist stalks the family of the attorney who defended him. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/27/2009 Starring: Robert De Niro Joe Don Baker Run time: 128 minutes Rating: R Director: Martin ScorseseMartin Scorsese's 1991 remake of J. Lee Thompson's 1962 thriller dabbles a bit in some fascinating psychological crosscurrents between its characters, but it finally trades in all that rich material for extensive and gratuitous violence. Robert De Niro plays a serial rapist released from prison after 14 years. Angry because his appalled attorney (Nick Nolte) made it easy for him to be convicted, this monster is out to hurt Nolte's character through his wife (Jessica Lange) and daughter (Juliette Lewis). The themes of interlocking guilt and anger between these people suggests a smart film in the making. But the final act, set on a boat with De Niro's vengeful pervert attacking Nolte and the two women, takes a more unfortunate direction. Stick with the original (which starred Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck, each of whom make a cameo appearance in this film). --Tom Keogh
