Better than most remakes

I saw this film before I saw the original. I mainly watched it because I noticed on the credits that Bernard Herrmann had music that was adapted for the film. I didn't know that there was an original Cape Fear, because I hadn't heard of either film, and I still hadn't done a lot of study about Herrmann yet, but I was introduced to the late Elmer Bernstein through this film, and had never heard any of his music yet either (probably in Ghostbusters, because I'm sure I saw that film then). I could not get off my seat watching this movie, and I just wanted to keep on watching it. I did recognize Herrmann's sound, but since it was adapted, it sounded slightly different, mainly in the brass. I love both versions of this film, and find great performances in both. I usually like originals better, but I do believe that I like this film more than the original. It keeps you glued to your seat, and has a more intense ending. But the original is also very well done, and very strong for it's own time.

Movies of this magnitude are almost nonexistent !

Just watched this movie for the first time in over 12 years!
I remember it being good, but had obviously forgotten that it was a masterpiece!
The movie is set in the present day, but its filmed in a 1930's-thriller style - complete with an (intentionally) over-the-top classical soundtrack, and sets that aren't intended to look lifelike - i.e. a similar style to `American Psycho'.

Next comes the acting. Wow! How I love good acting like this. Knockout performances from everyone.
Probably DeNiro's best ever performance. Nick Nolte is simply brilliant. And Juliette Lewis... oh my... she plays the part, of a 15 year old schoolgirl, who's unable to resist her sexual attraction for an ex-convict (DeNiro) who's the same age as her father - who subsequently seduces her in her classroom! The sexual tension in this seen is incredible, and Lewis plays the part to perfect, mesmerizing you along the way.

When all of the sections of a movie - acting, actors, story, screenplay, music, direction, cinematography, production - are perfect, and are masterfully combined, it creates something with this magnitude - `Cape Fear `91'

Great movie!

I really liked Cape Fear. DeNiro is amazing as always, the man cannot go wrong in my book. Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange and Juliet Lewis all do great jobs.

A good movie,

But don't compare it to the original; that's not fair. In some ways, they're almost 2 different films. This one has entertainment value, for sure, including DeNiro's over-the-top performance and the cameos by the original's stars. Nolte, Lange and Lewis are all OK, but ultimately not really believable in terms of the whole picture. Worth watching, but catch the original too, for sure.
PS to a certain March 14 reviewer: First, learn to use English properly. Second, the original "sucked" to you because it didn't have enough violence or tattoos, right? Yeah. THERE's a legitimate reason.....
