REVIEW - Seeking Justice

Word has it that in "real life" Nicolas Cage is broke, owing millions of dollars after repeated poor real estate investments.

If he carries on working on drivel like this, he's never going to get himself out of debt.

It's a shallow story of a New Orleans' teacher looking for revenge after his wife is violently mugged and raped. Guy Pearce appears out of nowhere to offer his "organization's" services to deal with the offender.

The story tries to get going - there are some potentially promising developments when Pearce gives Cage some tasks to complete as repayment for his services, but eventually those developments frustrate, rather than fuel the interest.

So, none of the 5 movies Nicolas Cage released in 2011 - Ghost Rider, Trespass, Drive Angry, Season of the Witch, and this dog - is any good. Tsk tsk, Nic.
