What to Know

Critics Consensus

Seeking Justice is nothing more than a typical potboiler with another phoned-in performance by Nicolas Cage.

Noah Berlatsky The Atlantic 08/28/2019
The set-up is painfully contrived, and the film is littered with the usual plot holes. Go to Full Review
Deborah Ross The Spectator 08/31/2018
A plodding and uninteresting revenge thriller. Go to Full Review

Ah, Nicolas Cage, you donkey- faced old ham. When did you finally give up on acting and abandon yourself totally to self-parody? Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 02/22/2023
2/4
The whole movie might’ve been more entertaining had Cage imbued Will with his usual whacked-out eccentricities, but his performance is decidedly low-impact, much like the movie itself. Go to Full Review
Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/26/2019
In Seeking Justice, Cage is in unfamiliar territory as the bookish Will Gerard which lends itself well to Cage delivering one of his best performances in some time. Go to Full Review

B
The treatment the subject gets here pretty much deters earnest discussion, but if it's a little too absurd to be profound, it's at least kinetic enough to be fun. Go to Full Review

Gabe W Feb 7 I don't care If you agree or not, but I can always find myself loving a nic flick. I just love his craziness and laughs. I grew up watching him. Even his lil experience in (Fast times at Richmond high) 💪 so I give all his movies 5 stars even his worse ones P.s currently watching this film now again See more Simon G 11/03/2024 Nicolas Cage best movie in a long long time, reminded me of the good old days of michael douglas in "the game" , highly recommended See more Kyle J 03/02/2024 Why can't a movie have vigilantes who are good through and through? This movie would have been more interesting if the good guys were good guys. See more 03/23/2022 When an opening scene starts with the hero riding to bring justice.. and the hero can't ride, flopping around in the saddle... I thought it was a comedy. See more 01/23/2022 Not a bad thriller that is kept together and focused by the two leads and their conflict, perfect casting. See more 10/26/2021 Many of the paid critics seem not to have troubled themselves to pay attention. Too bad, since that what this fli k requires. They gave better reviews to a far Nick Cage flick, Vengeance - a Love Story, a story as deep as a puddle and predictable as tic-tac-toe. Ignore them. Despite the lame title, Seeking Vengeance is a complex story with great chemistry between the Cage and January J. In addition the story has the female lead breaking against stereotypes and being quite a badass, in contrast to Cage's character, a good guy who finds himself in over his head. In this Cage himself is portraying a character against predictable expectations. Guy Pearce is excellent, as always. And a cast of solid veteran actors rounds out this excellent flick. Be sure to catch it. You'll be glad you did. See more Read all reviews
