Product Description: Cape Fear

Martin Scorsese's remake of J. Lee Thompson's 1962 film is a stylish, taut thriller.

Martin Scorsese's remake of J. Lee Thompson's 1962 film is a stylish, taut thriller. Public defender Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte) served as the attorney for brutal rapist Max Cady (Robert De Niro) at his arraignment. Shocked by the violence of Cady's crime, Sam duplicitously withheld information regarding the sexually promiscuous activities of Cady's rape victim--information that might have won Max's acquittal. After serving a hellish 14-year sentence in a barbaric state penitentiary, the once-illiterate Cady, who has taught himself to read and studied up on the law during his incarceration, seeks vengeance against the prosperous small-town lawyer. Max makes good on his satanic threats to terrorize Sam, stalking the vulnerable family, poisoning their dog, brutally assaulting Sam's close friend, and sexually harassing Sam's daughter, Danielle (Juliette Lewis). To rid themselves of this raging force of retribution, Sam, Leigh, and Danielle join together against Max in a final struggle for their very existence. Scorsese pays debts to Thompson's earlier version by using Bernard Herrmann's original score, as well as casting Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck, and Martin Balsam in supporting roles. Lewis delivers a stirring performance that earned her a well-deserved Oscar nomination, as did De Niro, whose tattooed vengeance seeker is one of cinema's most terrifying, notorious presences.

  • Overall:

    Better than the original

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 10, 2000

    Just like it's wrong to say the Carpenter version of "The Thing" is better than the Hawks version (and it is)...Scorsese's version is EASILY better than the Thompson rendition of this story, and here's why; Max Cady's desire for revenge is so great, ...that it has taken on RELIGIOUS proportions...this means that things which seem unrealistic is used as a point to demonstrate how determined he is to right which was wronged by him. It os the same religious fervor that made Jesus Christ rise after his crucifixion. The film is full of this type of conviction...watch Nick Nolte go stigmata, to confront his guilt. Good film.
