Amazon.com essential video:
Martin 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

Rating:  - WHY BOTHER WITH THIS FILM
I thought this film was a really bad remake of the great 1962 version. The 1962 film was much more frightening and intense than the remake, especially the death of Kersek. In the 1962 version, Robert Mitchum drowns him in the river, where in the remake, Kersek is strangled with a piano wire, which was too gory for me. I could have done without this.
The only good thing about this movie is that three of the original stars of 1962, Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum and Martin Balsam ... Read More
Rating:  - Have no fear, this movie delivers beyond expectations...
First things first; Robert De Niro is a force in `Cape Fear'; a major force that permeates every scene of the film, even the once he doesn't physically inhabit, and proves to be spine chilling to the maximum effect. Everything, from his swagger to his accent to his piercing stare, is utterly perfect in its ability to crawl beneath your skin and fester mercilessly. I was astounded by his ability to conquer the southern accent with believability that never took away from the rest of his performance. ... Read More
Rating: - It scared me to death
This movie is scary. no joke. I was skeptical when I first picked it up, but it is disturbing and terrifying. It is a great movie, but I don't suggest you watch it by yourself. Robert De Niro gives a stunning and psychotic performance, which I never knew he could deliver.
I highly recommend watching this movie, but be ready to be scared. It scared me to death.
Rating: - "You were my lawyer!",
I expected more but I'm happy with what I got. I love seeing DeNiro in those over the top psycho roles. He delivers in the film with a great performance as Max Cady. After spending 14 years in prison for a brutal rape charge. He seeks revenge against the lawyer who failed him.
Sam Bowden(Nick Nolte) is the lawyer who is eventually harassed by Cady. The torment is taken up a notch when Cady begins to target his family. Sam soon finds himself in a position where he has to be as ruthless as ... Read More
Rating: - Scorsese's worst
Simple question: who is the better director, Martin Scorsese or J. Lee Thompson? The answer might seem glaringly obvious, but Scorsese's often outright embarrassingly overwrought remake of Cape Fear showed that when it came to genre pictures, Scorsese wasn't even a runner up.
Where Thompson delivered a good pulp thriller that knew how to do its job and did it well, Scorsese delivered an hyperactive exercise in over the top camerawork, crude editing, and, in Robert De Niro's laughably comic ... Read More
