i cited this quote in a final paper a week ago.
Aunque no posee la grandeza de Taxi Driver o Goodfellas, El cabo del miedo es una obra notable. Los movimientos de cámara y el montaje son vertiginosos hasta decir basta. Jessica Lange, Illeana Douglas y, especialmente, Juliette Lewis están soberbias. De Niro está magistral en la escena de seducción en el colegio. El clímax peca de excesivo ( Cady volviendo al bote tras ser quemado), pero igual el film vale la pena.
Solid performance by De Niro, but it felt like the rest of the cast couldn't keep up with him. Not Scorsese's best work, with a few painful thriller clichés, but an interesting showcase for the insanity De Niro captures so well.
A really bad film, like a parody of Scorsese. After watching this film a lot of my pleasure in his other much better films was diminished.
sadly de niro will never be as scary as robert mitchum in the original. no matter how many prison tattoos he gets
An unnecessary remake and definitive proof that gore, profanity, and twisted scenarios don't amount to real horror. Watch the original.
It makes look Scorsese like a dead director back then, but Juliette Lewis fascinates me with her devil yet innocent looks !
Nick Nolte plays a good guy. Robert De Niro doesn't play a gangster. And Juliette Lewis likes fingers in her mouth. Oh, and cheeks make for good eats.
