In an update of J. Lee Thompson’s 1962 classic, De Niro plays a psychotic ex-convict who is thirsty for revenge against his once defence attorney (Nick Nolte). Robert de Niro again portrays the physical dedication of an actor to his role with wonderful rippling muscles. Martin Scorsese has produced an above standard Hollywood thriller that works up to a nerve wracking climax.
