Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

SMS1999 From the moment Nicolas Cage attempted to act like a tough, yet caring, inner city teacher I knew this movie was unrealistic, and it only gets more and more fantastical from there. Seeking Justice suffers from the weight of being entirely unbelievable, and not in the good way. If the movie had unexpectedly transported the characters to a magic fairy land, this movie would have been more believeable (and interesting.) In Seeking Justice, the hungry rabbit jumps deep down into a rabbit hole that it can never escape.Nicolas Cage is just plain bad in this movie. To be fair to Cage, he was cast in a horrible role that doesn't fit his limited range as an actor. January Jones is given a very one-sided character who doesn't have much to do, so it's hard to evaluate her performance. Guy Pierce is decent as the bad guy, but it's such a cookie cutter role it's hard to enjoy this waste of his talent. I did enjoy Harold Perrineau (of Lost fame) in his ing role as best friend Jimmy, but it's not a saving grace.There are other problems with Seeking Justice besides its unrealistic plot, bad characters, and bad acting, such as the constant bombardment of overly dramatic music, use of predictable movie tropes, and clunky prose that tries to sound like clever foreshadowing, but is really just banal. If you enjoy watching B movies to laugh at them, then I recommend Seeking Justice, otherwise don't waste your time.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Normally, I am not overly keen on Nicolas Cage movies, especially since they tend to be a dime a dozen, as he spews them out by the minute. But still, I do sit down to watch his movies, as my wife happens to be a fan of him.And with no expectation to "Seeking Justice", I could be nothing but positively surprised. And that was the case, because this movie actually turned out to be good and rather interesting, especially as far as your average mass-produced Nicolas Cage movies go.The story presented in "Seeking Justice" turned out to be interesting, albeit somewhat on the edge of being just a tad too far fetched. But director Roger Donaldson managed to keep the movie fast paced enough to maintain its level of interest, and he also managed to keep the audience somewhat in the dark as to what would happen next. So the movie didn't suffer from being generic and predictable as many of Nicolas Cage movies have a tendency of doing.Nicolas Cage actually put on one of the better performances in his career here, and he proves that he still is able to muster together a performance that stands out from his usual generic stuff.Guy Pearce also did a great job in the role, although his role was too small and his talent wasn't fully utilized in my opinion. And it was a sheer joy to have Xander Berkeley, but again, too small a role and not enough screen time.It is the fast pace of the movie and the storyline that keeps the movie constantly interesting, and there wasn't really any dull moments throughout the course of the movie. So it was a constantly fast paced ride.I can highly recommend "Seeking Justice" as a watchable movie, even if you are not a fan of Nicolas Cage.

Prismark10 Justice is a derivative and inept vigilante thriller starring Nicolas Cage showing another example of how far down his career has quickly plummeted to making lower budget movies made more for the VOD market.Cage plays Will a high school English teacher in a rough inner city school whose wife is violently raped. At the hospital he is met by a mysterious stranger named Simon (Guy Pearce) who tells him that the justice system will let him down and he knows who the rapist is and can have him taken care of. All he wants in return is for Will to do him a favour some time in the future.It seems Simon is heading a secret and underground vigilante organisation that takes part in revenge justice.Some time later Will is ed by Simon who wants him to follow someone and then take action against a sexual deviant. Will has qualms about this but finds himself too deep. Before long he is under suspicion of murder and the person he might be responsible of killing is not a deviant but an investigative reporter on the trail of this group.Will also realises that this group has wide tentacles with a lot of people belonging and having a secret codeword. Will has few people he can trust, his wife is in danger as Simon goes after Will.You do wonder why Simon needs Will to kill this deviant? There are others in the group who could had done the job better and neater. Also why did Simon need to frame Will because of his reluctance apart from that it needed to be a necessary plot device.Rather early on we guess that Simon is unhinged which makes us question why others in his group have not fathomed this.The plot is mundane, the characters are sketchy, the acting is below par as everybody is only there for the money. Films like Death Sentence starring Kevin Bacon have done this kind of cheap genre film better.

brchthethird Nicolas Cage gives a decent performance in an utterly preposterous, but moderately entertaining, suspense thriller. In SEEKING JUSTICE, Nicolas Cage plays a high school English teacher whose wife is raped. He is then approached by a mysterious man named Simon (Guy Pearce) who offers to have the rapist "taken care of," in exchange for Cage to do a favor for him in the future. What he doesn't find out until later is, that Simon (and a lot of other people) are part of a secretive group which doles out vigilante justice. Cage has qualms about fulfilling his "favor" and ends up being targeted. What unfolds is actually fairly engaging despite being completely convoluted. There is real tension as Will (Cage's character) and his wife Laura (January Jones) try to evade the group. The secretive nature of the group also means that they don't always know who to trust. The movie is capably directed by Roger Donaldson, and the action sequences are adequately shot. There's also a car chase scene which wasn't too bad. Scoring wasn't too memorable, although it wasn't annoying. The biggest weakness is obviously the premise, coupled with the writing. There are quite a few ing characters, and none of them are really fleshed out that well. However, once you get into the meat of the story you probably won't notice. It's only when holding the movie up to close scrutiny that it begins to fall apart. This was one of three movies that Nicolas Cage released in 2012, and it's easily the best one, suring the abysmal GHOST RIDER 2 and STOLEN. Overall, it's not a bad rental as long as you're not expecting a masterpiece.
