De Niro gives an acting performance of the highest degree. He would’ve been in his late forties in this masterpiece, and he was in such amazing shape. He is so incredibly creepy and evil in this film and yet in some parts forces you to take his side. I just cannot imagine any other actor taking this role to the epic levels that he did. Amazing actor, possibly the greatest ever. To be fair, Nick Nolte is a fabulous actor as well and in my opinion, very underrated. A true movie classic from Martin Scorsese!
Always loved this film. I remember when I was a kid watching it for the first time, Max Cady was scary partly due to his numerous tattoos. Was unusual to see people covered in tats. ''I don't know whether to look at him or read him''. Now, his tattoos look ordinary, and I wouldn't look twice if I saw him in the street, as everyone and their brother seems to be tattood all over nowadays!
I love how Joe Don Baker's character is so thoroughly outmatched by Cady but he doesn't realize it. He's a swaggering bully ex cop used to pushing nobodys around but he doesn't realize that Cady is on another level that he's just not equipped to handle.
Absolutely one of Robert DeNiro's legendary roles but this Juliette Lewis performance should be remembered as an all time great performance by a teenager/young adult actor. Especially when you consider the roles she went on to play after Cape Fear. She's always had a presence on screen and this flick was one helluva launching pad for her

IMO the most intense thriller of the 1990s. My favourite Scorsese film cos he just put on a Masterclass in how to terrify an audience. The scene between Max and Lori in the bar and what follows is just insane tension. Gets me every time that scene.
One definite word of wisdom I retained from this movie is when Deniro as Cady says every man must go through hell to reach his own salvation. That is truth. I remember being in jail once in the state of Georgia for a drug offense and seeing, “In life there will be tribulation.” John 16:33 written on the jail cell wall. Made me realize if I get out this situation it’s time to change or die.
Hey, he was a fucking monster before that when he raped and assaulted a woman. The only difference is that before jail he was just a psycho, and after jail - a psycho with Bible in his head, which made him twice dangerous. The moral of the story: DO NOT teach psychos to read! lol
Kristina Brandorff I think his intricate knowledge of the law which was the main purpose of him becoming literate made him far more dangerous than his quoting of religious scripture.
za09s I wrote him a letter in the 7th grade, for school. He replied -- obviously, I still have that letter. He's da' man! Also, that was a year or two after this film was released -- I'm 36.
I never knew Marty made a movie like this before today... People who say that Robert Di Niro has played only one type of character, haven't watched his work at all! For all I know, he'll always stay in my top 3. This movie is outta this world! *12 April 2024*
His character just got outa prison after 14 years, I'm sure not everyone there were southerners w thick accents- but I still think he did an excellent job
I felt soooo sorry for Cady in the film, witnessing his evolution,history and transformation throughout the movie, Fav Quote by Cady: I learned that in Prison, you liiiiiike!!!
Exactly. Mitchem himself had a powerful personality to bring to the role. It gives him that much less he has to act. DeNiro is a bit of a cipher. His Cady is one layer of acting on top of another.
“What’s you gonna do? Arrest me? You a cop? Or were you a cop? Or were you not good enough to remain on the force. Cause you know something, that’s the feeling I’m getting here. Love the DeNiro Joe Don Baker exchange.
Vegeta Lover Years ago, that episode is what got me interested in seeing "Cape Fear". So in a way, it's thanks to "The Simpsons" that I became a huge Scorsese and De Niro fan, which propelled me into a career of filmmaking. Funny how everything ties together. :)
I actually saw this version before the original. Then Turner Classic had the Peck / Mitchum so I tuned in, thinking it would be a bit pale to the remake. Gotta give Mitchum credit, EVERY bit as menacing as Deniro, and he didn't have the levity with the graphic language and violence the '91 film had. Still great Deniro though. If it wasn't for Hopkins and Hannibal Lecter being in '91 as well then Deniro wins best actor.
"Its not necessary to lay a foul tongue on me, my friend. I COULD get upset and things COULD get out of hand and then in self defence I COULD do something to you that you don't like here right here" Max Cady was a badass although a complete sicko too
man. De Niro used to be in the top tier. This is one of my favorites. He really nailed that kinda ambiguous Louisiana Florida Georgia southern accent...What might be kinda friendly under other circumstances becomes kind of menacing and taunting within the context of the movie. Dude used to really go all in. It's a shame what he's become.
This movie made me to wonder cady r innocent or gulty cuz in the end of the movie when he was judging the lawer he was angry like he was innocent before the jail and said i lost my humanity like he was normal in the past ?
We understand mr dinero and Stallings roknrol for Mr Robert deniro Winns All approved byme and personaly adonaieye God Mr Robert deniro May God bless you and your beautiful family.
Hello De Niro Fans: Has anyone heard that Robert De Niro was the child of his father & sister? Opinion not Fact: This explains SO much of his deep acting roles and personal choices, I feel
I never get tired of watching this movie.
Me either, I don't know why but it's seriously one of those rare movies you can watch over and over and over, and still wanna see it again and again.
@@kevinfrimpong969 Damn right
Such a fun movie
Totally agree!
A wonderful thriller/crime movie!
Nothing more frightening than a psychopath with special skills..and Deniro nailed it in this film..
😁
so true theyre scary regardless ive known a few,they can read your mind
"You threatening me?.. You threatening me?... Well, I'm the only one heere"
I love it when DeNiro repeats himself
It isn’t the wrong movie
It's your move counselor. What are you waiting for its your move? Your move. Gotcha ya fuck, you will feel loss!!
“ I could get upset things cooouuuuld get out of hand.”
Me at the DMV
Receives boiling water to the face: "Are you offering me something hot?"
And the way De Niro said the line😂
Chuck Norris “you offering me something frozen”
Receives juliette lewis to the face, are you offering me something hot??
Cape Fear & Taxi Driver are one of the most brutal Di Niro roles
Raging Bull
Should have won an Oscar for The Fan!
Bowden should have stalked cady family tol
Goodfellas
An I can out philosophize you
De Niro's laugh is priceless! People forget just how funny he is even in his dramatic roles. Same thing in Taxi Driver "You talkin' to me"

Hi - I agree DeNiro is a great actor but Robert Mitchum in the original was the much more realistic and extremely well played in 1962.
His best
1:25 - Even the way he walked was intense...
For a man who lived in NYC for most of his life, he really knocked that Southern accent aout the park!!!!!!
@Gabrielle You must not realize how good of an actor DeNiro is.
Sou brasileiro, para mim, pouco importa se o sotaque dele é sulista, de nova York ou de Londres, não faz a mínima diferença.
Max Cady is simply the most disturbing villains in movies ever.

I'm not aloud to watch it and I'm 12 ur parents must be so fun
+Eloise !cGuinness it's really not for 12 year olds. Your parents are doing the right thing.
Yeah, tattoos are almost cliche.
Zack well you see..... there’s not a whole hell of a lot to do in prison, but desiccate your flesh
You can still tell a lot about a person based on their tattooss
I love how Joe Don Baker's character is so thoroughly outmatched by Cady but he doesn't realize it. He's a swaggering bully ex cop used to pushing nobodys around but he doesn't realize that Cady is on another level that he's just not equipped to handle.

(Ah yes, this is my personal opinion)
Deniro is the 🐐 of actors. Amazing acting here. Max cady is terrifying
IMO the most intense thriller of the 1990s. My favourite Scorsese film cos he just put on a Masterclass in how to terrify an audience. The scene between Max and Lori in the bar and what follows is just insane tension. Gets me every time that scene.
It is a halloween movie for everybody
The scene with Max and Lori in the bedroom scared me so much that I felt ill and had to leave the theatre for ten minutes!
One definite word of wisdom I retained from this movie is when Deniro as Cady says every man must go through hell to reach his own salvation. That is truth. I remember being in jail once in the state of Georgia for a drug offense and seeing, “In life there will be tribulation.” John 16:33 written on the jail cell wall. Made me realize if I get out this situation it’s time to change or die.
Still, nobody should be locked up for a simple drug charge.
Going through it now. Makes you wonder.
they turned even the prison into bussines...@@mongogojjo5944
there's something so badassed about a weak guy going into prison getting brutalized and coming out a fucking monster
Hey, he was a fucking monster before that when he raped and assaulted a woman. The only difference is that before jail he was just a psycho, and after jail - a psycho with Bible in his head, which made him twice dangerous. The moral of the story: DO NOT teach psychos to read! lol

Never gets old watching Cape Fear...Cady's a clever beast.

''well maybe i can hack u into 40 pieces''. that cracks me up everytime
The best actor that ever lived
Best scene, are you a cop or were a cop or not strong enough to remain on the force!
always been a fan of RoberT Deniro and still will
Am I the only one that finds this movie hilarious. De Niro is such a good actor.
It can be at times, it can also be fuckin terrifying at times.
I never knew Marty made a movie like this before today... People who say that Robert Di Niro has played only one type of character, haven't watched his work at all! For all I know, he'll always stay in my top 3.
This movie is outta this world!
*12 April 2024*
De Niro’s accent is hilarious
I love the way southerner’s talk. They’ve got a lot of adjectives and analogies!
His character just got outa prison after 14 years, I'm sure not everyone there were southerners w thick accents- but I still think he did an excellent job
DeNiro can do almost anything. The man is amazing. -----------------------WolfSky9
Yeah. Almost, except not being the leftist nut he is nowdays...
I felt soooo sorry for Cady in the film, witnessing his evolution,history and transformation throughout the movie,
Fav Quote by Cady:
I learned that in Prison, you liiiiiike!!!
I read that in a Freddy Kruger voice.
I could get upset thiiiings cooooould get out of hand
miguel duque That's how I feel everyday of my life.
Haha my favorite line. Deniro in his his prime wss beyond convincing
He says that, and next line ... "U threatening me???".
and then i could do something to you right here you would not like.
Robert De Niro is the best actor 😎👍✌💖💗🏆
I'm a big fan of De Niro but I always compare with the old version with Mitchum. Robert M. was a real life tough guy and he scares the hell out of me.
Exactly. Mitchem himself had a powerful personality to bring to the role. It gives him that much less he has to act. DeNiro is a bit of a cipher. His Cady is one layer of acting on top of another.
whats a cipher ?
I'm shivering all over
There is tough and then there is this guy. He is in a class of his own,
He was just plain old tough and smart, that is a dangerous FU--
This performance proved he could do anything. Underappreciated
5:30 This black lady just saw a devil
hardest character ever to be portrayed on screen bar none
Robert De Niro sounds like he's from Tennessee in this movie!!!!
Max Grady vs Columbo: who would be more relentless
Yep Bray Wyatt and Waylon Mercy were definitely inspired by this very interesting character.
True.
FACTS
Deniro=Excellent villain! Makes you feel helpless AF in this movie!
“What’s you gonna do? Arrest me? You a cop? Or were you a cop? Or were you not good enough to remain on the force. Cause you know something, that’s the feeling I’m getting here. Love the DeNiro Joe Don Baker exchange.
3:20 - Cady was a total psycho path. He had a sixth sense of peoples weaknesses and was incredibly manipulative..
Oh my god,this mans in great shape 👍✝️
This definitely my favorite part!!!!
The best movie ever of Niro !!!
I recommend this movie to the young ones to let them know why Bobby D is a legend.
So much better then the orginal cape fear with Robert michum,
and that is saying something bc Mitchum was good in the original (better in Night of the Hunter though). The original was still good.
"Already red'em"
De Niro is so committed that he served 14 years in prison to prepare for this role.
it always pissed me off at 0:35 when you see the fake smoke come up behind him...watch it again and you will notice it everytime
Gord MacDougall 60% of the time,you notice it...every time...
Bro who cares?
Who gives a shit?
My dumbass thought it's another smoker
Agh godamnit
sideshow bob anyone?

That dude laugh the way I laugh in my classroom in Bogota with my good old buddy Leonardo.
Just finished listening to the audiobook. How very different the movie is in regard to the relationship between the lawyer and the convict.
damn this dialogue is good why doesnt hollywood write like this anymore ?

"Watch the arm, watch the arm, it might be broken!"

His role in Bang The Drum Slowly years earlier gave Robert a decent grasp for a Southern accent.
Everytime this movie comes on i stop everything. I cant not watch it. They were all great in this movie
5:23 this sound! god damn, it felt like it came from a different part of my room - almost made me thought I spilled something in real life.
Nice smoke machine behind DeNiro's seat. You can see it puffing smoke.
I love how he’s got cutouts of black bolt and captain marvel in his cell
I'M BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND
