Seeking Justice DVD Review

I don’t normally review a lot of thrillers, but SEEKING JUSTICE is one of those rare movies that is so good that you have to share it.  Not to mention the fact that I’m probably one of the few people left on the planet who actually likes Nicolas Cage and enjoys seeing him onscreen.  But even if you don’t like the guy, you must see this movie; it’s way too good to pass up.

If you are not familiar with SEEKING JUSTICE, here is the plot synopsis courtesy of Anchor Bay Films:

Will Gerard is a happily married man whose quiet life is turned upside-down when his wife, Laura, is brutally attacked while leaving work.  At the hospital, waiting for news about his wife’s condition, Will meets Simon, a concerned stranger who offers to aid Will’s family in finding her attacker, in exchange for a favor sometime in the future.  Overcome with grief and fear, Will consents to the deal, unwittingly pulling himself into a vigilante organization that will lead to frightening and deadly consequences.

This film reaches viewers in several different ways, reaching into the very core of us at certain primal levels.  We sympathize with Cage’s character as a devoted husband who is trying to help his wife endure an incomprehensible crime; I mean, how many of us as husbands and boyfriends wouldn’t want to get revenge?  I know I would.  Cage therefore eventually does something he shouldn’t...and ultimately ends up paying the price.

SEEKING JUSTICE is shot very well and appears to have a high production budget.  There’s not many special effects to speak of but that’s certainly not an issue.  This film is character-driven and gives us a roller-coaster ride of thrills throughout its plot.  Also, not to spoil anything for you, but there are a couple of nice twists that I didn’t see coming.

This film is a definite must-see and one to be added to your Watch List soon.  Be sure and check out the Blu-ray version for the superior sound and picture quality; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with either.  SEEKING JUSTICE hits store shelves tomorrow.
