Top 3 De Niro performance. Amazing how they updated for 90's but kept 60's film noir feel. Sam has major flaws too but Max Cady is psycho
Cape Fear's cast, especially Robert de Niro, deliver supercharged performances that help the movie land an impact on audiences.
Great cast in a pretty intense story, well made and entertaining
One of Scorsese's most stylish movies with plenty of unique shots. The film is extremely tense & Max Cady is a force to be reckoned with.
absolutely underrated, Max Cady feels simply untouchable by man nor god which creates a frenzied scatter to respond to his actions.
De Niro can do it all including a deranged psychopath (ok that is half his roles).
Classic thriller. DeNiro is simply terrifying. A Scorcese classic.
Di Nero definitely caries but is that a problem
Really had me on the edge the whole time!! Great acting too.
Good crime drama remake movie, good cast and acting especially DeNiro. Gripping, Worth watching
