The Collider:
The first US trailer and poster for the thriller Seeking Justice have been unveiled. The plot concerns a happily married man who enlists the help of a dangerous underground vigilante operation when his wife is brutally attacked. He soon finds out that he’s in over his head, as the vigilante syndicate has bigger plans in mind as part of his repayment for their services. The trailer is pretty much what you’d expect from an action-thriller starring Nicolas Cage. There’s nothing particularly new or interesting here, and January Jones is quickly becoming the go-to actress for the part of “traumatized wife.” Time will tell if Guy Pearce’s charisma is enough to carry the film, but based on this first look I’m not entirely sold that Seeking Justice is worth checking out (though Cage’s facial hair makes a strong case for the contrary).

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.

Coming Soon:
Anchor Bay Films has provided ComingSoon.net with this exclusive clip from the new Nicolas Cage action-thriller Seeking Justice, directed by Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job, The Recruit ) and co-starring January Jones.
In the film, Cage plays English teacher Will Gerard, whose wife (Jones) is attacked and brutally beaten. Still shaken up by his wife's condition, he meets a mysterious man named Simon, played by Guy Pearce, who offers to help get Will justice on the man responsible, but six months later, Will finds himself caught up in a web of intrigue as he has to pay Simon back by killing someone himself.
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.
I know most of what he does is just action, revenge type stuff but puts all he has into it and makes it good.
It is your typical Nick Cage action drama but it looks pretty good by what the trailer is showing. I think it's one of those that's fraustrating and yet you want to see what happens anyway and you want the good guy to win.
Fuck I love the cage.
Nic cage really needs a hit..
