✦AI Summary
A critical review of the new 'Cape Fear' television series, which stars Javier Bardem and Amy Adams. The reviewer argues that despite the high-profile cast, the show suffers from poor writing, plot holes, and a lack of tension.
From J. Lee Thompson’s Cape Fear in 1962 and Martin Scorsese ’s version of John D. MacDonald’s 1957 novel, The Executioners in 1991, to the recently concluded series, the story of a man defending his family has been updated to reflect the current worries of the time.
