Nolte's role not believable, Lange just ungrateful & bitchy(in special features she never wears a bra---best observation)and Lewis as always, typical,naive,eye-rolling waif. Found it to be De Palma-like in over-the-topness and visual style,surrealistic,etc.De Niro's persistence was chilling, death scene satisfying.I give it an 8 out of 10.
shareIt was good but as with most of Scorsese it feels so dirty - even the Bowden family are fraught with conflict and screaming matches, enter a sick rapist and murderer and everything’s just kinda... nasty.
I guess that’s what you get with Scorsese - he’s a sophisticated director and wants to explore ideas of sin and justice, with plenty of cynical commentary on our justice system and bibles popping up. It’s a very good film but it’s deadly serious and not much ‘fun’ for a thriller, you kinda need a shower after watching it.
Has some flaws, has some flair. Its pretty good. It does feel like De Palma.
The original is quite good to. Robert Mitchum is a different Max Cady. Powerful but controlled, brutish, but a very smart antagonist which makes him probably more scary than De Niros Cady..
It does feel like De Palma.Interesting that the film feels De Palma-ish given its mixed development: originally for Spielberg then being passed off to Scorsese (meanwhile Schindlers was originally a Scorsese project that Spiel. took over). Movie Brat math, who knew?
I hate this movie. I hate it even more after watching the original, which is a far better film.
shareYou want to elaborate on some points?
The original is great, but I liked this one also. Very different tellings of the same story that can co-exist without damaging each other.
Hate, hate, hate.
Yea, you’ve made that abundantly clear.
Lol, to hate a piece of entertainment this much... how sad. But looks like hating is your thing in general. Typical reactionary
I have a 10 star rating and a film is either a 1 or a 10.
Maybe you are not on the same wave length and think too deeply about things.
You should really stop trying to think, get hench, get alpha, get pussy, and get a life dork.
