It’s one of his few that has not stood the test of time. Zero rewatch factor. Felt extremely dated even a few years after it came out. Bad acting. Stupid plot line. Bad casting.

I can see saying it was overrated for some of the reasons you said and bc it was immediately hailed as a GOAT level movie.

I still think it was a great movie and i don't see how you can say the acting was bad.

that was based on boston lore. the character Frank was based on is whitey bulger, who's brother was a state senator at the same time whitey was a criminal and then a fugitive. the golden dome in the background is the state house. the brother always claimed ignorance of whitey's crimes and whereabouts

Egregious racism aside, you have a good point.

I stand corrected. Scorcese was merely an actor in Quiz Show. It was a Robert Redford film

OFS re Shelter Island <<<< Cape Fear

It’s not his best, but ridiculous to say it’s his worst. “Overrated” is subjective on 2 axes, and I guess if you consider that it was his first (only?) Best Picture… sure, in that sense it’s overrated.

It’s a highly entertaining movie.

I liked it on rewatch, aside from CGI deniro's "beatdown" of the shopkeeper which was laughably bad. Has a chill sadness to it.

Its his only movie with a plot and it has a great plot.

Also arguably his most quotable movie.

15 actors bringing their A+ game.

If you hate it, something is wrong with you.
