Vengeance always has a price
Not bad at all, it's worth watching! Seeking Justice has some great action scenes and some interesting plot twists and i enjoyed it for what it was,a good action thriller.

As a time-pass thriller, it serves means to ends, but nothing beyond that. However, it amazed me that while Nicolas Cage was reasonably tolerable, Guy Pearce wasn't quite so.

It is rather disappointing when a thriller has absolutely no surprises, as all the twists are expected. It is even a bit of a let down that the admittedly strong cast ensemble, do not seem to particularly exert themselves with real conviction. But it is one of those films that I... read more

Even with this spectacular cast, Seeking Justice is a pretty bad movie. If I had to guess, I'd say no one directed Seeking Justice, they just had someone yell "action," then "cut!" The best editor in the business couldn't have saved this one. I mean there were some poorly deliver... read more

March 16, 2012fb531466024Not as bad as I thought it would be! While not wholly original, it is an interesting premise of a secret group of vigilante's who use a bizarre system of "pay it forward" to rid the city of evil. Enough plot twists and action to keep it interesting, just keep your expectations i... read more

The master of overacting, Nicolas Cage, is at it again in this lame, derivative, ludicrously-plotted mess. Was Cage ever actually in a good movie? I can't recall any.

With such a great cast and a decent story idea it is surprising how average this film is. Nic Cage and Guy Pearce give pretty decent performances but its a little cheesy an the story has a little too many twists. Its not complete garbage but lower your expectations and you might ... read more
Critic Reviews
A dumb-dumb variant on the Death Wish vigilante justice genre. Full Review
[Cage] acquits himself well enough in this otherwise rudimentary thriller from deliriously unsubtle director Roger Donaldson. Full Review
It's a perfectly palatable and even engaging thriller, albeit one requiring several leaps of faith and/or disengagement with reality. Full Review
Donaldson ... seems to have lost all talent for pacing. Full Review
[Cage] shouldn't do any more movies in which his character signals his acceptance of a Faustian bargain by buying two candy bars. Full Review
It's refreshing to see Nicolas Cage, non-histrionic and sort of subtle, in a halfway clever piece of indie pulp about a teacher who enlists a cult of vigilantes to kill the man who raped his wife. Full Review
Seeking Justice evokes the post-Watergate paranoia of '70s thrillers like The Parallax View and Three Days of the Condor without having a worthy conspiracy at the bottom. Full Review
It's one of those productions that is neither good enough nor bad enough to be enjoyable. Full Review
There's a good idea here, in the story of helpless victims who get caught up in citizen vigilantism. But it's buried under a cheap, straight-to-DVD esthetic. Full Review
