Review of Cape Fear (1991) by Lorenzo V — 29 Oct 2008
Robert De Niro is the actor in Hollywood with the most potential to disturb. With his slick greasy hair, rapturous tattoos, and polite southern accent, he creates a Max Cady that makes Robert Mitchum seem like a boyscout.
The movie was enthralling in the most disturbing way. I wanted so badly to look away from the carnage, but was completely unable. Cape Fear sent my friends running, and is definitely not for the faint of heart, but if fear is what you crave, or you enjoy De Niro's power to disturb, then hop on the boat.
