You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth - Meat Loaf and More  The Fan $8.49 Having watched most of Robert De Niro's famed films since his beginnings ("Greetings" and "Mean streets"), along his countless artistic collaborations with his preferred director, Martin Scorsesse, I would not dare myself to qualify this film as notable. De Niro's most remarkable performances were focused through the seventies (Godfather II, Taxi driver, Deer hunter), eighties ( Ragging bull, Once upon a time in America, Angel heart, The mission, Untouchables and his genial cameo on Brazil) until the early nineties (Goodfellas and his most emblematic achievement until this date -at least to me- Awakenings). But since 1993, (when he makes his debut as director) De Niro (like Gene Hackman) seemed to have been abandoned by the supreme Dionysian muse and he has been repeated himself over and over again. Since "Cape fear", to be exact De Niro doesn't surprise me with his "inner fire" a similar bitter taste in this case, where his role as best actor of his generation is absolutely absent in this case. A good start with a very dramatic premise, that deserved a major treatment, was obscured by a languorous script with serious dramatic fissures. On the other hand, Tony Scott is miles away from his three best achievemnts of the past "Top Gun", "The hunger" and "True romance." |
