Fantastic remake
By Noel Clay from Colchester, England , 03 Nov 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
If the original 'Cape Fear' hadn't existed, the fact is this one might well be regarded as a classic. I recently saw it appear on a list of the top ten worst remakes of all time, but then films like the clearly superior 'Ocean's Eleven' also appeared on there. Most people who don't like it are probably those who take offence at the mere fact that a classic is being remade.
This movie obviously delves much deeper into the dark territory hinted at in the 1960's original ... Robert De Niro is brilliant as the psychopathic rapist who harrases a typical american family, although saying that he's better than Robert Mitchum may be going a little far.
The meaning of the film is different from the original, as here it is the story of an average man being brought downward (or upward, you might argue) to the same level as Max Cady. It's not up to the standard of Scorsese's best films (i.e. Taxi Driver, Goodfellas), but it's still superb.- Was this review helpful to you?

(85)Great film, but watch the original Simpsons episode!
By MikeKermit (1 review) , 07 Mar 2013This is an absolutely fantastic parody of that Simpsons episode where Sideshow Bob tries to kill Bart and steps on all the rakes on the boat. Well unfortunately De Niro (who plays the Sideshow Bob character) doesn't step on any rakes, but he does a great job of the cigar in the cinema scene so I'll almost forgive him the rakes. 4 1/2 stars, if it had more rakes it would have been 5.- Was this review helpful to you?
