Summary

Counselor... come out come out wherever you are! With the new Apple TV series about to launch, we thought it might be the perfect time to revisit Martin Scorsese's 1991 thriller Cape Fear. Some say it is an overlooked and underrated entry in Scorsese's filmography while others see it as nothing more than Marty cashing a paycheck. Is it a remake done right or is it too violent and too pulpy? Who is sexier: Robert DeNiro or Nick Nolte? Is there a hidden meaning behind the Problem Child theatre scene? What is the minimum time required for sexual intercourse and maximum time required for a fireworks display? Learn about loss and enter the Ninth Circle of Hell and on this week’s episode of Film Junk.
