SUMMARY

Robert De Niro breathes frightening new life into a psycho role made famous by Robert Mitchum in this edge-of-your-seat thriller directed by Oscar®-winner Martin Scorsese (2006's The Departed). As Max Cady, De Niro is at his scariest and most intense--a sociopathic ex-con who wants revenge on the lawyer who unsuccessfully defended him against rape charges that landed him 14 years in prison. Nick Nolte co-stars as the milquetoast attorney forced into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse against the relentless Cady. "A work of rippling cinematic muscle" (Washington Post). Also with Jessica Lange, Juliette Lewis, Joe Don Baker, Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck. (R) (AC,AL,GV)
