Seeking Justice (2012)

good back-story, and good acting

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

What would I have done, is the question I was left asking myself while watching. Really good movie, thought provoking and stout. Also goes to show how small the world is. Give this movie a watch.

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.

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.

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 contacted 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.
