To paraphrase a famous Mae West wisecrack, when Cage is good, hes very good, and when hes bad, hes better.

Its 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 v ..

I continue to consider Cage a gifted (if uneven) actor, but a movie like Seeking Justice challenges my faith.

As it stands, veteran director Roger Donaldson and writers Todd Hickey and Robert Tannen instead turn Seeking Justice into a lengthy chase movie that ..

Its not that Justice doesnt achieve its goals but the goals are so modest that disappointment is inevitable.
Time Out

The films tossed off look and clunky editorial construction are still secondary to the sheer silliness of its story.

Neither the scripts conspiracies nor Nicolas Cages performance is weird enough to trump the films generic feel...

An agonizingly banal exercise in generic filmmaking makes even the most run of the mill made for TV potboiler seem like a Charlie Kaufman head spinner ..

Its likely Justice will be of interest mainly to those tireless individuals who compile clip reels of Cages worst moments and upload them to YouTube.. ..
Telegraph
2.0
An unsuspenseful thriller with shades of Death Wish. Nicolas Cages return to New Orleans doesnt even have a hallucinatory iguana to recommend it.

If you are a hard core Nic Cage fan this wont kill ya, but avoiding it may make you stronger.
JoBlo
2.5
Death Wish goes the corporate route in this silly action thriller thats nonetheless leagues beyond Nicolas Cages usual fare.
One Guys Opinion
4.5
Working with a pip of a premise, Seeking Justice is the kind of effective middle range pulp thriller that has lately become an endangered species.
Village Voice
2.5
It telegraphs its punches, and truthfully, Justice isnt much more interesting or entertaining than most of the dreck that the workaholic Nic has throw ..
Rogers Movie Nation

Its overlong and preposterous, and the payoff fails to deliver the desired visceral thrill.

Instead, its another paycheck gig for the once exciting, magnificently peculiar actor, who appears completely detached from the production, keeping to ..

Donaldson maintains a lively pace, although the story doesnt bear too close an examination for fear of being engulfed by its own plot holes.

Boring and objectionable in equal measure, Justice is badly written, poorly conceived and doesnt even offer the saving grace of a bonkers Nic Cage per ..

That films title is a pretty good description of where Cages career seems to be headed.
New York Post

But really, for better and worse, hes a lot more fun when hes loony.
Az Central

To sum up: Shadowy figure, clearly far reaching and powerful vigilante organization, favor.
Npr
2.0
Yet another example of a film with a decent enough premise, that just comes to pieces in the third act.
Guardian
1.5
It works well enough, and at the end the makers know that their film invites the audience to have its irony rations and eat them.
Guardian
3.0
Donaldsons skilful at orchestrating the action sequences, and there are two plot twists that should take you by surprise. At least you wont be bored.
Daily Mail
3.8
Seeking Justice is an intense thriller so full of shocks it keeps you wired from start to finish.
Observer
3.0
Donaldson keeps things tense, pacey and plausible but the inventiveness of the screenplay gives way to a dissatisfying, rather formulaic third act.
Express
1.0
Cages recent films (the sublime Bad Lieutenantaside) arent really supposed to be funny.
The Irish Times
1.5
The set up is painfully contrived, and the film is littered with the usual plot holes.
The Atlantic
2.2
These arent small oversights; these kinds of plot holes should come with a low clearance warning.
Coles Mithey

Movie Freak

But Seeking Justice which sounds like a Lifetime movie with Heather Locklear, you do realize that, dont you doesnt have enough of those moments.

As far as a Cage film goes, Seeking Justice is better than the last couple major theatrical releases that have hit the screens.
7M Pictures

Justices narrative, whilst possessing an interesting enough central concept, is incredibly poor throughout.
Cine Vue

The reel Lowdown If You Liked.. The Star Chamber, The Adjustment Bureau..
Mirror

A mystery low on secrets and an ethical dilemma with no consideration of morality whatsoever.

The only thing youll be wondering during this inert alleged thriller is where it all went wrong.

There needs to be a shot of raising his fists looking up to the sky screaming JUSTIIIIIIICE! as the camera pulls up, but the movie doesnt go there.

This isnt a bad set up; it simply denies us a satisfactory pay off.
The Ooh Tray

In a career marked with sporadic hits among many misses, and despite initial promise, Seeking Justice falls firmly into the latter category.

Without the ambition to ever do anything more, Justice is a lacklustre, low grade thriller that youd be disappointed by had it not set its standards s ..

This is not to say SEEKING JUSTICE doesnt have its problems, starting with the initial set up introducing us to the Organization.

Nicolas Cage has spent so long turning himself into a living cartoon that hes lost the ability to play human beings.
New York Time Out
3.5
Its not too hard to imagine the whole premise redone as a horror film indeed, supernatural underpinnings might make it more plausible.
Assignment X

Its legitimately tense and Cage gives an appropriately conflicted performance.

Nicolas Cage plays the regular man protagonist with surprising ease, dialing down the nutty affectations and keeping you engaged.

Nicolas Cages quality control is clearly still on the blink if the clunky screenplay for this routine action thriller is anything to go by.

Seeking Justice is like mediocre pizza; It wont change the world but it should satisfy those hungry for a well made, generic meal.
