no-nonsense thriller

Psychological thriller. The criminals divided the lawyer's family step by step, tortured their nerves, and finally had a big duel in the climax. Very Hollywood movie. The rhythm and atmosphere are well grasped.
The criminal is a confident, calm, and crazy man with tattoos all over his body, and ironically all biblical sentences or symbols of justice, paranoid. Actor De Niro does have that charisma, at times dashing, at times bursting like a beast. The moment he seduced Sam's daughter, the atmosphere was like a taut string, his smiling face and crepe tone were a little ghostly, and Sam's daughter's simple shy smile added to the ghostly atmosphere. Sam gradually became irritable and irritable during the harassment, reminding me of Jack in The Shining. Fortunately, he did not go crazy, and finally got the understanding of his family and could deal with the enemy together.
The night that Sam and his family waited for the prisoner to appear was a small climax. The climax should be the confrontation between the people on the boat in Cape Fear. The situation reversed several times, which was exhausting.
But to be honest, this film didn't surprise me, the music, performance, and plot are all typical thriller routines. My favorite performance is Sam's daughter (maybe a little weird), I think her smile is mysterious, perfect for a ghost movie or something -_-b

    Religious theme as always! The Crime and Punishment of Martin Sykes! Exciting! Chilling! Vivid and complex characterization! Really, really burst into tears! ! ! ! ! ! (The presence of Gregory Pike is fantastic! Ha!)

    Martin is a super movie fan. He pays tribute to the original and Hitchcock with a remake; the feeling of "you know what will happen but you can't take your eyes off" throughout the film, the old Hollywood of the 1950s and 1960s The character is extremely righteous, and the technique is so skillful that it will produce an illusion; as for De Niro, such a performance is really amazing; if you want to talk about the shortcomings, perhaps it is too obsessed with "tribute".

    Max Cady: Counselor.

  • Max Cady: I ain't no white trash piece of shit. 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!
