There is nothing in the dark that isn't there in the light. Except fear. A conglomeration of some exceptional performances that lack real relationships between the characters leave the film wanting at times. De Niro’s Max Cady is properly scary and he does an amazing job of taking on a new persona with a few slips into his normal accent that are almost unnoticeable. Nolte does good work as the torn lawyer, not wanting to make the same mistakes of the past both with his relationships and with his decisions regarding the law, tries to find a way, any way, out of his predicament. Jessica Lange’s character is a good representation for the frustrated housewife and Juliette Lewis does excellent in playing the rich spoiled child who acts out for her parents’ attention most of the time. |
