Mitchum and Peck from the original were given roles in it weren't they.. Cady didn't take a bite out of Lori's cheek in that one

You know what is scary, Cady is pure evil in this movie yet he himself was terrified and abused in prison by people worse than him. If this movie doesn't put you off crime I dont know what will!

Right now watching Cape Feare episode of the Simpson's!!

Oh I remember that one with sideshow Bob. Some great quotes in the film 'i think we're alone now..' and '14 years councillor, fowteen years' good score? The guy who did the music anyway added a lot to the film

Absolutely, I heard a lot about this movie without actually watching it. Now I know how good it actually is and it exceeded my expectations, genuinely brilliant

Need to Google who beat de niro to the oscar

Calibre, on Netflix.. good suspenseful film. Something about the Scottish accent which makes everything menacing, so you don't know what's gonna happen

Watched this on your recommendation. It was a good film.

Yeah, I watched it a couple days ago and I really liked how they treated the source material. I was familiar with the plot of the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" but the film still managed to surprise me. They cut some things here and there (e.g. most of the threesome kisses) and changed the finale, but what's really important is that they managed to convey the exact atmosphere that those magical chivalry tales supposedly created at the time in the mind of the reader/listener.

I mentioned that they changed the finale but, contrary to what I usually think, it was for the best. I really liked that decision because it made for a more poignant film, and I think that if they had kept the original finale of the tale it would have felt shallow and slightly anticlimactic for a modern audience.

I actually liked the last part of the film better than the beginning, when I had feared that they were going to focus only on cinematography and aesthetic and neglect the actual storytelling and characters.

Good review.

That last paragraph of yours is crucial observation.

It could have, quite easily, descended into a navel gazing exercise in love with the cinematography, but it does keep itself in check to a wonderful result.

Insanely daft comedy about a serial killer, under-the-radar low key charmer that wins because of its cast.
I can't say anymore but if you want a light hearted zany 90 odd minutes, this is it.

6.5/10

TRAITOR with Don Cheadle, enjoyable.
