Plot
A lawyer is stalked by the man he once failed to defend.
Sinekatalog’s take
Scorsese's pulpy remake turns a stalker thriller into an operatic nightmare. De Niro is terrifying as the tattooed Max Cady, and the film is overheated in the best, most Hitchcockian way.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
