Cape Fear Ratings & Reviews

  • RyezooFebruary 20, 2025
    Robert Deniro is one crazy rapist! But for real his acting is top notch. I loved the way this film was shot and the snappiness of the camera + the quick editing. The daughter is a very annoying character and thought the finale was a little stretched out. Loved the score and Nick Nolte and Jessica Lange were also great.

    Certainly not enough speaking in tongues.
