Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
gkekoa I have been on a kick of B and worse movies as of late and they have disappointed. This one was a good movie and well worth the watch. The movie keeps a good pace and is quite interesting with a pay it forward (dark) kind of feel. For those who do not like Cage's movies, I can't figure out why. Sure he isn't a great actor and doesn't really look the part for the lasies he gets, but his movies are entertaining.
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.
forayof Director Roger Donaldson's 2011 mystery thriller-Seeking Justice is woven around High School teacher played by Nicholas Cage and his musician wife played by January Jones. British Cinematographer David Tattersall keeps the viewers on the edge with pan and zoom mode when needed. Film starts off with a man plunging to death when his car was pushed from a multi-level car parking by another SUV. Cage and his wife watch this on television while they are celebrating their marriage anniversary at a club. The couple's normal life is turned upside down when the wife is brutally attacked, raped and maimed by a maniac. Out of the blue a man, who calls himself as Simon played by Guy Pearce, comes to Cage while he was waiting in hospital to get update on his wife's condition and offers to take care of the person who was behind this brutal act. Though initially hesitant about this, Cage finally gives in as his vendetta takes over his consciousness. Who is Simon actually and what he actually does and what he wants in return for eliminating his wife's assailant and what does the code "hungry rabbit jumps" mean is told in an interesting way filled with mystery, thrills and action. Despite its reviews, this movie is really worth watching if you prefer mystery filled thriller.
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 supporting 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, surpassing the abysmal GHOST RIDER 2 and STOLEN. Overall, it's not a bad rental as long as you're not expecting a masterpiece.
