Cape Fear (1991)
7/10

A excon (Robert DeNiro) seeks revenge against his former attorney (Nick Nolte).

Martin Scorsese's direction here is very crafty -- kind of a mix between Brain DePalma à la Body Double and Hitchcock à la Marnie -- and I might recommend it just for that, if you like that sort of thing. But as far as story and suspense goes, it's just alright, the story hits all the same plot points as the original 1962 film (which is a better film), and the ending is rather cliche, senseless and anticlimactic.
