SamTaurone 18 Posted October 5, 2015 This movie speaks for itself, I'm not even going to try to do it justice with a description (yes I am that lazy)! Share this post Link to post
sillstaw 414 Posted October 5, 2015 You could at least specify whether you mean the 60s version or the 90s remake. 2 Share this post Link to post
SamTaurone 18 Posted October 6, 2015 Well, since you asked nicely, okay! It's the 1991 version, Robert DeNiro steals the screen with his over-the-top bananas performance as a creepy ex-con looking for revenge. In between Nick Nolte's portrayal as a lawyer who constantly bullshits his family, everyone's urge to chain smoke, negative screen flashes, and an musical overture that never let's up; I can easily see this become an episode on HDTGM. 1 Share this post Link to post
Ofcoursemyhorse 1043 Posted October 6, 2015 I know i'll probably be the sole voice of dissent here, but I actually liked this movie. I maintain if they ever do a HDTGM that features a Scorscese movie it should either be The Wolf of Wall Street or Hugo. Share this post Link to post
SamTaurone 18 Posted October 6, 2015 It's a good movie, nostalgic as well, hell even Joe Don Baker is in it. However, it's overdramatic in such a way that it almost feels like a comedy. It deserves to be picked on! 1 Share this post Link to post
Lando 2019 Posted October 6, 2015 I like that they made Sam Bowden a less ethical lawyer in this one, it at least gave Max Cady more of a reason to blame him and stalk him than in the original. I think DeNiro does a great job as a psychopath in this movie, it's peak DeNiro. The only that I think doesn't work is the plot resolution, it's a bit sloppy, and the special effects leave something to be desired, but I think this is far from Scorsese's worst. Â And does it really feel like an over the top comedy for any reason other than Cape Feare? 2 Share this post Link to post
