Cape Fear [Blu-ray] Reviews

Martin Scorcese’s 1991 updating of Cape Fear creeps onto Blu-ray with a refreshingly solid HD picture and sound package, accompanied by the extensive extras prepared for the standard definition DVD in 2001.  This may not be Scorcese’s best or most memorable film by a long shot, but it has many interesting features for his fans.  It’s the first movie he filmed in 2.35:1, the first movie of his to incorporate major VFX work, and it’s got a memorably wild performance by Robert De Niro as the showboat villain of the story.  And just to nod to fans of the original 1962 film, both Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck make cameo appearances.
