When it comes to Netflix Streaming it really feels like it’s feast or famine. Some months are great, others not so much. For August I’m leaning towards the latter, which is partially why this Netflix post is coming so late in the month. For August there are a couple decent new releases but they’re a little more art house than what most people are interested in. Otherwise there are some decent horror films (Halloween is just around the corner), 80s fans will find a couple entertaining one offs, Taco Bell is well represented in the 90s, and a couple new shows found their way into the stream. Overall its not a great month but who knows… maybe September will be gangbusters.
A technically competent action thriller, though when it comes to plot, characterization, and theme, it lacks the spark of imagination that would have allowed it to rise about the rest.

Sean of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Nicolas Cage continues his career as a critic-defying lovable loon, and I just don’t get his popularity. After many years in the video retail/rental industry, I can honestly say that probably close to 80% of the movie watching population loves Nic Cage. Look around, and you’ll see the hate, but the hate is so passionate, so feverish, that they’ve seen every one of his films. The dangerous thing about these people is they do just that, which includes watching stuff like Drive Angry 3D (which I enjoyed in a “this is like a shitty From Dusk Till Dawn 4th sequel” kind of way), Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (where he literally changes accent and acting style in every single scene), and now, Seeking Justice."
I have to say I do love Nick Cage and I do watch his movies but I don't go see all of them. There have been a few that I've seen clips or trailers of that I didn't care to go see the whole movie. I do think he doesn't get enough credit for his acting though. He really is a great actor.
I know Nicolas Cage doesn't get much credit for some of his movies but I like him a lot...so I will see this movie. I don't know if it will be out at the theaters or if it will go to dvd or what but I'll see it either way.
Cool premise.
I know most of what he does is just action, revenge type stuff but puts all he has into it and makes it good.
