A terrifying performance by De Niro as a psychopath Max Cady. Towards the end, he becomes a monster; as good a monster as Col. Kurtz! Cape Fear is not one of the greatest films but it holds your attention throughout and doesn't bore at all. The Music, plot, dialogs and De Niro's dialog delivery and acting, all of them make the movie really enjoyable.
A treat to watch. The movie says a lot without dialogs at a lot of places. The tattoos, the actions, the scribbling on the walls, on the car, the mention of some historical books, etc. keep throwing messages throughout the movie. De Niro actually researched his role as Max Cady and built on it later, went in and out of jails and picked up tattoos and all.
Max Cady: "I ain't no white trash piece of s***. I'm better than you all! I can out-learn you. I can out-read you. I can out-think you. And I can out-philosophize you. And I'm gonna outlast you. You think a couple whacks to my guts is gonna get me down? It's gonna take a hell of a lot more than that, Counselor, to prove you're better than me!"
Such dialogs delivered by De Niro will definitely let some chill run down your spine. Overall, a shocking, disturbing, mind-blowing, creepy and brooding edge-of-the-seat thriller. Definitely worth watch :)
