Seeking Justice (2011)
Directed by Roger
Donaldson this thriller stars Nicolas Cage, January Jones and Guy
Pearce. A husband is offered swift justice for the man who attacked
his wife but it comes with a catch.
The concept behind
this film has a good amount of potential but I do not think it ever
fulfils this as the film becomes more of a standard thriller rather
than exploring the ideas of justice and vigilantism. As is often the
case Nicolas Cage is present but you would not know it from his
performance. I also have to wonder if there is an undercurrent of
sexism to this film as women are only ever shown as victims in the
script and there appears to be no female members to the vigilantly
group.
2/5
