Justice for 'Seeking Justice'.

It's a misfortune--or is it really is?--that such big names and proven talents have to prance down to a fall down? I am saddened of what is happening to Cage's acting. With average human expectations, I would expect Nicolas Cage to be somewhere remote from being fine--good. However, I find myself cheated.

Will Gerard (Cage) is a mild-mannered high-school teacher in New Orleans, who rages by the assault of his wife, Laura (January Jones), as a result, agrees to join a vigilante organisation turned gloomy, as offered by a name: Simon (Guy Pierce). Things eases to fall apart. Returning the organisation's favor of killing the attacker of his wife, Will is forced to enter a world of sinister stuffed with crime and violence.

'Justice' is a clever idea. A group that is engineered for and only for the people who are determined to find justice when justice systems fall out. But with the lack of energy, skill and grit, the film unfortunately remained as a potential. There was a ginormous and inevitable need for energy in this drama/thriller/action. Something of which that lead actors, I don't know, lacked...of? Cage is, in my area, a celebrated actor, and we are down to see this.  Jones is fine, while Pierce plays the calculated and predicted thriller villain. Roger Donaldson behind the camera, comes off with the same dilemma with The Bank Job, flair. Writer should have made the film more interesting, especially the ending. In these kind of films, I don't love endings that somehow circulate the story.

'Seeking Justice' is a film that had fluctuating expectations, and either degree, high or low, people will disappoint in any degree too. But isn't 'Justice' a film that at least entertains, although seldom in its 104 minutes, of course disregarding the fact that it lacks of flair and energy, that at least it makes it to the big screen? I still think it's Direct-to-Video kind of stuff. 2.5 stars.
