Revenge is what makes us human, may be. Directed by Martin Scorsese and even though I believe that it would have been more refined had it been created today, he did an excellent job of giving Robert De Niro his identity - fantastic acting; Martin played with gore and nudged at us with hints of brutality. The movie definitely lives up to its name.
When we watch older movies (this one was released in 1991 - and was in fact a remake of a movie by the same name from 1962) we notice how difficult it would have been for a creator to paint his/ her movie, and therefore we notice the flaws.
The end of the movie was very well chalked out (although it was poorly pictured, relative to current standards) and that is when Max Cady (De Niro) surprises the audience, with his brutality, grit and sheer insanity; when he turns back to talk to the camera as an attorney talking to a judge, how he is able to weather physical pain and when he sinks down to the river bed while uttering incoherent 'sounds?'
