Review of Cape Fear (1991) by Sailormoon797 F — 18 Mar 2011
Even though the screenplay is incredibly stupid, Scorsese really does a great job as a filmmaker. The film is terrifying to watch and you can tell it's not because of the screenplay (if anything, the screenplay makes it laughabe), but because of the excellent direction and acting performances from Nolte and De Niro (De Niro especially).
If anyone can turn a super stupid screenplay into a terrifying thriller, it's Scorsese.
