What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are split on this remake, with many feeling the story and pacing are a slog, but they agree Javier Bardem is the main reason to watch. As the released convict Max Cady terrorizing attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden, Bardem's chilling performance is the standout. While Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson have their moments, the show around them feels unoriginal and unevenly paced, leaving the strong visuals and a few solid supporting turns, like from CCH Pounder, struggling to carry the weight.
