This might be Robert De Niro's (Max Cady) best performance as he plays a different from his usual character in this film and honestly, he is such a likeable actor but in this film, he is genuinely creepy in every way possible and you feel how these characters feel in this film as the film gives you a feeling of being trapped and trust me that is also down to masterful direction from Martin Scorsese. Also, it is worth mentioning that this is also by far Nick Nolte's (Sam Bowden) best performance as he plays his character perfectly as a lawyer who is just trying to do the right things by his family but as the film goes along you start to see his character unravel with paranoia and its just some really great acting.

The one thing I didn't like was the music in the film like the orchestra just feels too loud and I checked to see if it was my sound system but nope it's just really loud and I found I was turning the volume down every single time the music came on. Also, Scorsese uses some really weird angles throughout the film.

Otherwise its a pretty amazing film and I recommend for anyone looking for a tension filmed thriller.
