"Counselor? Could that be you?" This movie was supposed to be chilling, but between Juliet Lewis's skanky performance, Nick Nolte slipping in a pool of blood, and De Niro running through the yard dressed like a Mexican maid, I couldn't stop... Full review

Wow, this is one terrible film. I usually enjoy films by the director too! I can't believe some people and film critics actually liked this. The acting in the film was worse than mediocre. I wanted to see an intense thriller... Full review

Come on DeNiro was nominated for an oscar and the girl (juliette LeWIs)was nominated too. Martin Scorcese can only direct gangsta films, I agree, but this is one hell of a thriller. Love you DENIRO!... Full review

First off, I have to say Robert De Niro gave the performence of a lifetime in this movie. What also made this movie a masterpiece, is the classic feel to the movie. The strong music when something is tense and the... Full review

What's great about this movie isn't the suspense, the story, or the acting, those are all terrible. What's really awesome about it is that it makes me feel like I could become a famous Hollywood director with little to no effort... Full review

Robert Deniro as a middle-class souther-accented psychotic ex-convict? Well you knew he was gonna pull it off greatly, BTW I give his acting A+. I just hate the daughter, she is always stupid in every movie and her expressions annoy me.... Full review

A second ad pitches the original Cape Fear as a shrink-wrapped, priced-to-buy title. More than a few shots still suffer in translation, but the swooping, kinetic virtuosity of the camera moves is preserved. ... Full Review

a spellbinding scene....In the 1962 Cape Fear , Robert Mitchum played Cady with the heavy-lidded menace of a middle-aged degenerate peddling pornography on a street corner.....the most exciting movie trend....its atmosphere of rapt, Hitchcockian anxiety.... ... Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
It is a good movie, and he has changed the original story (good vs. evil) to reflect his own vision (guilt vs. evil). Scorsese, whose " GoodFellas " was the best movie of 1990, has for 1991 made a movie that, in the long run, will not be very important to his career. ... Full Review

The original "Cape Fear," the 1962 version starring Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck, is not generally viewed as a classic by most critics and certainly not held in the same high esteem as many other thrillers of the period. ... Full Review

Washington Post
It's a brutal, demonic film with a grip like a vise; it grabs you early, its fingers around your throat, and never lets go. His command of the medium goes far beyond technical brilliance; "GoodFellas" proved that and "Cape Fear" reconfirms it. ... Full Review
