Even the popcorn looked bored during Cape Fear.

If Cape Fear was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Unpopular opinion: Cape Fear is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of Cape Fear and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Cape Fear is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Cape Fear would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Cape Fear's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Cape Fear was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
