Nicolas Cage has recently been on a bad streak of movies such as Season of The Witch, Trespass, and recently Ghost Rider 2. I watched this with no expectations and to my surprise thought it was actually pretty decent suspense thriller. No, it's not a great movie, but it's a perfect Rental that will keep you entertained. The acting is actually pretty good. Cage and Jones do an alright job, but Pearce really did a good job as the villain in the film. I thought a movie like this would be predictable, but the film actually goes in a bit of a different direction than you would expect it to. However, the movie fell flat in it's third act when it substituted all of it's suspense for action and a somewhat disappointing ending. Still, even though it's not a great movie and has it's flaws, Seeking Justice is still a decent thriller perfect for a rental that is better than you would probably expect. Even if you don't care for it, you still can easily admit that it's better than any of Cage's other recent films.

Better than any of Cage's other recent films
If you're a Nic Cage fan, you should check it out; the plot was preposterous, but it was an entertaining movie overall
I just watched it. I give it 6.5 stars out of 10.
I only watched it because I'm a big Nicholas Cage fan.
The plot was preposterous.
The female protagonist's acting was very bad and unrealistic given the situations she was in. Her statue face became very obvious at the end when she kept the same statue face she showed for the entire movie.
The acting in general was decent, except for Nicholas Cage who is a great actor.
However, this movie kept me interested until the end since I wanted to find out what the heck was going on. I was entertained and didn't mind watching the whole thing.
Nicholas Cage is always great to watch act.
Conclusion: If you're a Nicholas Cage fan, you should watch it. If you're not a Nicholas Cage fan, then you might want to skip this one. The plot was preposterous, and the acting in general was only decent. However, the movie was full of mystery, some thrill, and some action that it kept me interested/entertained until the end. The ending was satisfying and wrapped things up fine.
Better than you expected, or box office showed
Somewhat based on The Star Chamber, 1983, do not give up on Nicolas Cage and even that plodding plot, because after all, he has convinced me many, many times he is a very handsome man. THAT in itself is great acting...... Olivier comes to mind. Guy Pearce? Wasted in a throw-away role. Watch for Cage though, he always delivers.
