MacDonald that was already adapted by J. Lee Thompson with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum in the leading roles.That film was already notable - and is paid homage to with brief appearances by Peck and Mitchum - but the Martin Scorsese-directed remake is slightly above it.In my opinion, of course.From 'Cape Fear' the interpretation of Robert De Niro especially impacted, becoming imitated on many occasions.In Spain, many of us surely remember his "Abogadooo", but his performance even served as the basis for one of the most legendary episodes of 'The Simpsons'.Logical that the Academy recognized his work with an Oscar nomination.The other nomination the film won was for Best Supporting Actress for a Juliette Lewis, whose dynamic with De Niro is especially suggestive.It is true that it is still an extension of the rivalry between Max Cady and Nick Nolte's character, but it adds another badass element that feels great to the film.To all this must be added the more than remarkable work of Martin Scorsese behind the cameras, who came here more than ever in his career in the style of Alfred Hitchcock, even going so far as to hire the legendary Saul Bass, with whom he had already collaborated on the extraordinary 'One of ours', to take care of designing the opening credits.Share It is an excellent thriller with one of the best performances by Robert De Niro: one of the most mythical films of the 90s arrives on Amazon Prime VideoMore Sites You'll LikeSee more articlesSee more videosMore Sites You'll LikeSee more articlesSee more videos
