After his wife is assaulted, a husband enlists the services of a vigilante group to help him settle the score. Then he discovers they want a 'favor' from him in return. In New Orleans, English teacher of the high school Rampart High, Will Gerard, and his wife, musician Laura Gerard, are in love with each other. One night, Laura leaves a rehearsal and is assaulted, while Will is playing chess with his friend Jimmy. Will is visiting her in hospital when, out of the blue, a stranger named Simon tells him that he belongs to an organization of vigilantes and offers to eliminate the assailant. In return, the organisation would want a favor from Will in the future. Will agrees, and the criminal is murdered. Six months later, Simon collects his debt with Will. He demands that Will kill Alan Marsh, a pedophile. Will accidentally kills Alan and soon he learns that the victim was an awarded journalist that was investigating the organization. Now he seeks evidences to prove his innocence but the network of the organization is powerful and is seeking Will out to eliminate him. Seeking Justice is a new Nicolas Cage movie, that he seems to be spewing out like a mad man. Strangely enough, this one is not so bad at all, although there are some strange things present. For example: the first third of the movie is totally weird, with some amateur camera-work and unconvincing acting all around. Not to mention lame action scenes, but then suddenly everything changes and as the plot thickens movie starts looking better and better. Director Roger Donaldson (The World's Fastest Indian, The Recruit, Thirteen Days) really surprised me with his choice of actors, I mean Nicolas Cage and January Jones (sounds like she's playmate of that Playboy issue) seemed too aloof for this type of movie, while Guy Pearce was a perfect choice for Simon. With a suspenseful and intense atmosphere and a story that you wanna know the ending to, Seeking Justice is a good viewing experience.<br/><br/>Will and Laura Gerard are a happily married couple living in New Orleans, but their lives will be changed forever when Laura is brutally raped and beaten. While in hospital, Will is approached by a mysterious man, Simon who says that he knows who did the dirty deed. He offers him his death in the exchange for a "small" favor that Will will have to do in future (not future future). He accepts this deal, overwhelmed by pain and anger not knowing that it will lead him into a world of trouble. A world where the Hungry Rabbit Jumps <br/><br/>Check out my review site Rabbit-Reviews for movies that are worth watching, Rabbit out… Seeking Justice – TRASH IT (C+) Seeking Justice is about a happily married family man's quiet life is turned upside-down when his wife is brutally attacked one night while leaving work. The husband unwittingly pulls himself into a dangerous underground vigilante operation after agreeing to an intriguing offer for a stranger to exact vengeance on his wife's attacker. Well the premise of the movie is perfect for average thriller and that's what Seeking Justice is an average thriller. Though, I strongly believe that if it wouldn't have been Nicolas Cage in the movie then it would have made to the theaters. But sadly every Nicolas Cage movie these days first ends up on shelves and then direct-to-DVD. There is nothing I can say about Nicolas Cage though he was better than his recent crap movies. Guy Pearce is creepy and January Jones has to be the coldest actress around. Good or bad she is easy on eyes. Overall, don't watch unless they're showing for free late night on TV and there is nothing else to do, just like I did! To paraphrase a famous Mae West wisecrack, when Cage is good, he's very good, and when he's bad, he's better. Here, however, he's just plain lousy, and like the film he so passively carries, that's no fun at all.
