This remake of the original Cape Fear from few decades before is not about system failing a well deserving lawyer, but about lawyer failing a client who is given draconian sentence. De Niro, who is well placed playing characters from Hell, here is a heavily tattooed, self made, determined agent of, in character's view at least, real justice that speaks in God tongues. He exposes the lawyer for what he is, and leaves the sorry cheating boomer and his family alive, a punishment worse than death, after his intervention. His victorious face staring, as he descends to the other-world, at the corrupt boomers is a face from the ninth circle of Inferno, where he quite deservedly sent his lawying cheating tormentor for the rest of his days, for eternity. Quite a condemning picture of boomers and lawyers by Scorsese, as they get some justice served by a determined, intelligent and unjustly imprisoned client.
