    Cape Fear review – Amy Adams and Javier Bardem’s immaculate update is a wild, wild ride

    Bardem has the absolute time of his life terrifying everyone in this remake of the classic thriller. It’s a masterclass in tension, sublime directing – and never forgets the power of a jump scare

    “Ever look around and wonder if we deserve all this?” a woman asks, standing by their sprawling mansion’s swimming pool with her handsome, ripped, fellow lawyer husband.

    Ah me. Ah my. Welcome to the latest screen incarnation of John D MacDonald’s taut psychological thriller, published in 1957 as The Executioners and now adapted for the third time under the title Cape Fear. Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck starred in the first, in 1962 – the former as the villain Max Cady, nursing an incandescent rage and obsessive desire for vengeance against the latter, as lawyer Sam Bowden, for for his role as key witness in a rape prosecution. Martin Scorsese directed a remake that had Nick Nolte as Bowden and a truly terrifying Robert De Niro as Cady in 1991. It introduced a few more moral grey areas but the battle remained between good and very, very evil as Cady sought to destroy Bowden’s life and family in every conceivable way.

    Why Cape Fear is scarier than anything else I’ve seen on TV

    This series is so unsettling it makes its movie predecessors feel like Roadrunner cartoons.

    Hollywood’s cannibalisation of its back catalogue has spawned the good, the bad and the ugly. Residing in the first category is Cape Fear, Apple TV’s series from show-runner Nick Antosca, produced by master storytellers Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. The reworking of Scorsese’s 1991 film (itself a revamp of J Lee Thompson’s 1962 classic), takes narrative licence, undergoes significant renovation and adds characters.

    It’s a highly satisfying deep-dive into characterisation and theme, heightening complexity well beyond Thompson’s stripped-back tale of good and evil and Scorsese’s brutal take on universal guilt. This version, with its oppressive paranoia, is so unsettling it makes its predecessors feel like Roadrunner cartoons.

    Bullish Nancy does not fear sack but Celtic fans display fury after loss to Rangers

    Wilfried Nancy insisted he did not fear the sack, claiming, “We are really close to things turning around,” despite the Celtic manager moving dangerously close to dismissal with a comprehensive defeat by Rangers.

    Celtic led their oldest rivals at the interval but a second-half capitulation from the hosts allowed Danny Röhl’s team to move level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions. Nancy, who was hired from Columbus Crew in December, has presided over six defeats in eight games.

    Celtic’s support displayed their anger – towards the board and manager – in their hundreds outside the stadium at full time. The board would be most likely to return to Martin O’Neill, who enjoyed a successful interim spell before Nancy was hired, if the Frenchman were sacked.

    Celtic 1-3 Rangers: What the manager said

    Rangers head coach Danny Rohl: "I give big respect to my team. In the first half, we tried something, but they were better. They won the 50-50 duels and they played big and fast and behind, it created us a lot of problems.

    "We changed at half-time a little bit the style of pressing. We are good in the game then.

    "You have two stories, we can turn things in one half to come back 3-1 and win this game and the second story, we have a centre-forward with Youssef [Chermiti] who scores fantastic goals.

    "We should enjoy, but tomorrow we have to be again, ready for the next game. This is a demanding league.

    Celtic v Rangers: Scottish Premiership – live

    Wilfried Nancy’s Celtic nightmare continued after Rangers inflicted a sixth defeat in eight games by scoring three goals in the second half

    Wilfried Nancy spent a memorable Friday press conference pleading for time, context and understanding as he visibly struggles with the role of Celtic manager. This outcome – and the nature of it – will do nothing for Nancy’s hopes of keeping his job.

    And that’s it from a dramatic afternoon at Celtic Park. A classic game of two halves and another miserable afternoon for Wilfried Nancy. Can he survive this latest setback – especially given the opposition involved?

    ‘I fear electromagnetic catastrophe’: Josh Safdie on Marty Supreme, latent Jewish anxiety and why men are lost

    The Timothée Chalamet-starring comedy about a hustling table tennis ace has been voted one of the Guardian’s films of the year. Its writer/director talks ambition, American dreams and alien takeovers

    Why Marty Supreme is the No 5 film in the UK and No 4 in the US

    Josh Safdie, 41, is best known for the films he has made with his brother, Benny – frenetic chancer yarns such as Uncut Gems, Good Time and Heaven Knows What.

    Last year, the brothers split and shot separate movies loosely based on real life sportsmen. Benny made wrestling drama The Smashing Machine, starring The Rock; Josh a loose take on the life of Marty Reisman, a shoe-store clerk in 1950s New York, who aspires to table tennis pre-eminence but must hustle to fund his passage to championships in London and Tokyo.
