I'd hate to say this is the result of lazy filmmaking by DeNiro or Scorsese, two modern-day geniuses, but I can't think of any other reason for how it came out. To the OP, check out the original. Cape Fear is a great story, and it deserves to be seen in its best version.

I agree about DeNiro in this movie. His southern accent was way off, he tried so hard to look evil in the movie but, sadly, he couldn't pull it off.
I also hate to typecast, but Scorcese and DeNiro are so New York, I don't get how these two can be chosen to re-make this movie.
