Review of Cape Fear (1991) by Andy S — 06 Aug 2018
This definitely doesn't seem like a Scorsese movie. The way it's filmed and the way some of the scenes look, is almost like it was forced to remind you it was made in the 90's.
I don't how Robert De Niro can be such a psychopath/sociopath and still be likable. He's one of the few who can do that. That scene with De Niro and Lewis at the theater was mesmerizing to watch. Some good acting right there.
This movie gets better as it goes along. There's actually some genuinely funny moments in this movie. Which is weird, given that the subject matter is pretty pressing and serious. But it's odd because it's almost like the movie doesn't take itself too serious.
It's insane how De Niro's character just toys with him to the point of losing his mind. Psychologically fucking him. It's almost comical how Cady doesn't die. Lol he doesn't want to fucking die!
Pretty fucking weird movie at times but it was good. I enjoyed it.
