Movie Review: Cape Fear

From the perspective of a passionate cinephile: In this gripping tale, I find myself drawn into the life of Max Cady, a man who spent 14 years behind bars for rape but used his time wisely to learn about the law. Holding his former attorney, Sam Bowden, accountable for his conviction, he meticulously plans his retribution. His strategy is subtle yet terrifying; he infiltrates Sam’s life and that of his family, becoming an unrelenting annoyance, never quite crossing the legal line. He employs psychological tactics to sow fear and unease, a chilling presence lurking just beyond our sight.
