Cape Fear Ratings & Reviews
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ RσყҽƚƚMarch 25, 2026Martin Scorcese's filmography as director is one of the most accomplished in modern film history. While Cape Fear can't even hold a candle next to "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull" and "Goodfellas", it is still a fabulous remake of the 1962 noir classic and it keeps the viewer on the edge right through until the closing credits.
