All Talk and No Action

This is one movie I re-commend to all viewers who love a nail biting, spine tickling thriller.

The movie takes us through a cat and mouse chase between a defense lawyer (Nick Nolte) and his Client (Robert De Niro).

The Client feels he was denied a just trial in a rape case as his lawyer didn't go out and defend him with fairness. So when he is out, he is on a mission to make the lawyer pay and learn about what real loss can be !

The movie has an amazing background score which is enough to give the viewers goosebumps and look over their backs !

The movie is pretty fast paced and has fabulous performances by the protagonists.

One can only feel pity for the poor Nolte who is faced by a formidable opponent in De Niro !

De Niro sure knows how to arouse rage and repulsion in the viewer !

Google tells me that the movie has had a 1962 version too where in Gregory Peck plays the protagonist. Now, that's interesting considering the minuscule role offered to him in this one !

Apart from "The Departed" and now "Cape Fear", I haven't seen any of Scorsese's other works. However, after watching this bonanza, I am looking forward to his "Aviator".

I shall keep this review short as the real essence of the movie lies in the performances and a spectacular climax ! Go watch it !
