None of those movies were really very good. Yet, Cape Fear had De Niro--either completely hammy, completely brilliant, or both.

I just love the humid and sticky aesthetic of those movies. The atmosphere is dense and sweaty, a bit like Body Heat; and the scores seem to revel in it. I like that sort of stuff.

Cape Fear is nothing like Shutter Island, nothing like it at all. Shutter Island is never vile and is always better than Cape Fear. Cape Fear fails on so many levels, first of which is being a remake it fails to even touch the quality of the original. Cape Fear is an A-lister remake of a B movie that stoops the the level of a bad Z-grade hack and slash film.And yet you hate Cape Fear. Which to me is almost identical to Shutter Island.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

Gangs Of New York and Cape Fear do have the same over-the-topness.

The former doesn't look sweaty and greasy, though. So I don't associate them.

But that's due to the different subjects, not the storytelling.

Many people hated the movie but I'm one of the few who likes Daredevil. That and Evanescence (we like to play it in our band).
If you put John Williams in a dryer, you get Jerry Goldsmith! You get the downside version!

Their first album was great all the way through. Second album had a few good songs surrounded by forgettable garbage. Third album was terrible from note 1
