Critics Consensus

Smart and stylish, Cape Fear is a gleefully mainstream shocker from Martin Scorsese, with a terrifying Robert De Niro performance.

I just found this movie kind of irritating more than anything else lmao. Probably should have ended at least half an hour before it did

Cape Fear (1991) is a great film. Robert De Niro just nails the role of Max Cady in this. Great story, great acting and very creepy. 5 stars from me.

Prepare yourself for the true meaning of fear! As convicted rapist Max Cady leaves prison, he begins to stalk his former attorney Sam Bowden for willingly burying evidence that would give him a lighter sentence, playing a dangerous game that threatens his family. With a memorably unhinged performance from De Niro, we are forced to bear witness to the insanity that ensues from a misguided sense of righteousness!

1991's 'Cape Fear' is a remake of the 1962 film of the same name and an absolute humdinger of a film. SYNOPSIS: 'A convicted rapist, released from prison after serving a fourteen-year sentence, stalks the family of the lawyer who originally defended him.' Scorsese's 'Cape Fear' is a tribute to everything Hitchcock was such an expert at within his films, from their visual style, action sequences and performances. It's an old school thriller and it's gloriously wonderful, if not totally unsettling and brutal at times. With the director at the peak of his powers his lead actor, De Niro, is just incredible as the film's antagonist. He's sinister, dangerous, intelligent and cruel. It's one of the best performances of his career. As uncomfortable as this film makes me feel it's still an amazing watch, even if for the acting performances alone. A 'modern' classic? A film which rises well above its weaknesses. 8/10

The ending gets a little bit ridiculous with the dialogue and the chain of events that take place, one example being how Robert 's character Max Cady recovered so quickly and how he looked after being torched to his face which should've damaged him more! Other than that, Robert Deniro played his character very well and acted tremendously as always, and it's hard to believe that this Scorsese film came out a year after Goodfellas (his shining achievement for the time) and still managed to be at least decent in comparison. Nick Nolte's character is fascinating as well and the plot held my attention virtually the whole time! I think it was worth the watch, good crime thriller!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Martin Scorsese's enthusiastic and stylish direction as well as Robert De Niro's subdued yet psychotic performance help elevate this remake to be entertaining enough throughout.

Yet the grubby story is elevated by a superior cast in both the original and this grimly bloodthirsty remake.

(De Niro) had played a tough guy before, but never quite like this: a very sinister, very jagged, very dangerous character… put that together with Martin Scorsese at possibly the peak of his powers, and it’s a delightful if slightly scary film.

Martin Scorsese wasn't supposed to remake the 1962 thriller, but when he did, he brought along his longtime muse and infused the story with an overwhelming amount of trademark chaos...

Ever shot reminds you that a consummate artist is having a great time remaking a kinky minor classic.

Everything is relatively dirty, and no one is truly good, except for this film, it's phenomenal. [Full review in Spanish]
