Cape Fear

I've been trying to find some more "classic" movies on Netflix but it's proving to be difficult as their selection isn't as good as it should be.  I did find Cape Fear, a movie often referenced, but one I'd never seen.  This is Robert DeNiro in or near his prime and it's really a shame how far he's fallen.  He's still a good actor, but mostly plays in comedy's now, perhaps they're just easier cash grabs.

Anyways, Cape Fear, what a strange movie.  DeNiro gives a great performance of a man released from prison after 13 years for a crime he "may" have gotten a lesser charge for had his attorney provided all the evidence.  The attorney did not given the horrific nature of the crime, AND NOW HE MUST PAY.  You never really feel sorry for DeNiro's character, he's creepy, sadistic, but that's what makes his performance so memorable. 

I don't know if this holds up in 2017, but I enjoyed it despite taking it only semi-seriously.  Recommend.
