Nahum Figueroa I just watched it. I give it 6.5 stars out of 10.I only watched it because I'm a big Nicholas Cage fan.The plot was preposterous.The female protagonist's acting was very bad and unrealistic given the situations she was in. Her statue face became very obvious at the end when she kept the same statue face she showed for the entire movie.The acting in general was decent, except for Nicholas Cage who is a great actor.However, this movie kept me interested until the end since I wanted to find out what the heck was going on. I was entertained and didn't mind watching the whole thing.Nicholas Cage is always great to watch act.Conclusion: If you're a Nicholas Cage fan, you should watch it. If you're not a Nicholas Cage fan, then you might want to skip this one. The plot was preposterous, and the acting in general was only decent. However, the movie was full of mystery, some thrill, and some action that it kept me interested/entertained until the end. The ending was satisfying and wrapped things up fine.
SnoopyStyle Will Gerard (Nicolas Cage) is an unassuming high school teacher in New Orleans. One night, his wife Laura (January Jones) is brutally raped. At the hospital, Simon (Guy Pearce) claims to represent a few citizen seeking justice. He's willing to seek justice for Will in exchange for some favors. The cryptic favors get serious when Simon asks Will to kill a pedophile. Will tries to talk to the man but he struggles and accidentally kills himself. The man turns out to be respected investigative journalist Alan Marsh and the police are zeroing in on Will.It tries to be stylized thriller. The basic concept is fine but nothing special. The first problem comes with the candy bar. It's a stupid manufactured story device. It's of no use and only shine a light on how overly written this story is. A simple YES could have been so much more powerful. Instead the audience is forced to wait for the scene to finish. Time and time again, the movie tries too hard. I am glad that Will finally asked for a lawyer at the police station. The writing could have been worst but it's not good. Nick Cage needs to get work with better directors and stop taking these second rate offerings.
Adam Peters (34%) A very by the numbers, far from great, and rather quite silly offering featuring poor old Nic Cage paying off his tax bill, that really does beg the question: just how crippling was it in the first place? This though is just about entertaining enough for a simple, late-night watch; but there just isn't anything up this movie's sleeve to make it a memorable or worthy a repeat watch. With its very B-movieish plot that really lacks both spark and any sort of intelligence, along with a real lack of tension or any trace of believability. This is a better watch than 2011's terrible Trespass, but Nic still deserves better than this.
David Arnold After his wife Laura (January Jones), is brutally attacked and raped, Will Gerard (Nicolas Cage) is approached by Simon (Guy Pearce), a man who offers Will a way to get revenge on his wife's attacker. Unable to get the images of his injured wife out of his mind, Will reluctantly accepts Simon's proposal. Unfortunately this set's Will down a path of uncertainty, deception and ultimately a fight for his own life.Seeking Justice is a decent cat-and-mouse action/thriller and is thankfully much better than Stolen, the last Nicolas Cage movie I watched. The action in the movie is pretty good and while the story isn't that original (and does have some holes) it does hold your attention and keeps you watching. There's also some good twists & turns just to keep it that bit more interesting.Nicolas Cage is his usual intense self as Will Gerard, playing the part with a grittiness that we've all come to know and love (or maybe hate), and Guy Pearce is excellent again. Usually soap actors are, well, pretty awful, but Pearce is proof that SOME can actually act and they go on to prove that they can become excellent film actors. You can see that just by what he's done and he's definitely come a long way since his Neighbours days.Like I said, Seeking Justice is a decent action/thriller and I would recommend giving it a watch.
