Seeking Justice: Blu Ray Review

Seeking Justice: Blu Ray Review

Rating : M
Released by Roadshow Home Entertainment

Following recent OTT screen antics, Nicolas Cage returns to a more demure performance in this thriller.

Cage plays Will, an English teacher, whose wife (January Jones) is attacked and raped one night while he's playing chess. At the hospital, Will meets Simon (Guy Pearce) , who tells him that an organisation which he works for can take care of the man who did this to his wife, in return for a favour down the line.

Will reluctantly agrees and all is well until 6 months later, when Will is contacted and asked to return his part of the bargain.

Playing out as an action version of Dr Faustus, Seeking Justice is a perfectly serviceable thriller with nothing out of the ordinary to redeem it from the other straight to video fare. Cage is relatively on form in Roger Donaldson's hands and as a conspiracy deepens, the film plays its hand fairly straight. The action sequences are tautly directed and again, nothing out of the ordinary.

All in all, Seeking Justice is a film you will put on and leave playing in the background; it has a good cast including the likes of January Jones, Jennifer Carpenter and Guy Pearce - it's just lacking a little of the action and material to help it stand out.

Extras: None
