Típica de acción que pierde el sentido a la mitad.

The hungry nic cage fan watches even if it's nic cage in his paying off dept bargain bin Era. To be fair seeking justice is quite decent and a fun and interesting thriller.
After his wife is attacked will (nic cage) gets offered the chance for revenge but he owes an secret organization a favor in return. Will he be able to pay it when the time comes or is he not a killer.
Seeking justice is quite decent. The story is interesting and fun. I really like the concept behind it and with the ending twist the scope of the organization. The investigation part nic cage goes on is pretty cool too.
The characters and performances are all good. Nic cage doesn't go full nic cage here but plays the desperate man well. Xander Berkeley was cool to see and I liked his character too. Guy pierce plays the villian Simon well and I like that he has a charm and some layers to his character.
The investigation and organization that are our villians are intresting. I like that it plays on our need for revenge when something terrible happens. The fact that they can also get corrupt makes it more interesting. Again not the most complex villians out there but an interesting idea done well enough.
It's not the most complex thriller out there but for a nic cage 2010s Era thriller I quite enjoyed it. It has some good moments and the twist at the end is done well. Cage always brings his A game even in little thrillers like this so his presence make it all the more worth a watch. Just don't expect top cage madness.

This 2011 effort has the cast of mainstream Cage flick but the premise and execution of one of his tax debt era movies.
Cage is a husband who, when his wife January Jones is assaulted, accepts an offer from shadowy hospital waiting area resident Guy Pearce to have the situation ‘handled’. Cage is relieved when the perpetrator is unalived, but less so when he is contacted months later and it is his turn to return the favour…
The significant hurdle that this film was to overcome is that most viewers, even if it is not something that they would partake of in real life, can see the sense of the shadowy organisation that ‘takes care’ of these tasks that if even made it through the court system, would likely not achieve the desired outcome. By the time we realise that the organisation may be a little shadier than expected, it’s too little too late and by that time we are already mad at Cage for not doing his bit.

Surprisingly okay. Watched this for Cage and he's just alright in this, but the plot keeps the story moving and the disappearing NOLA accents keep me entertained. Wouldn't recommend to non Cagers though.

I listened to the interview with Cage on In The Envelope where he says he always takes something from his life and something that’s going on in the world to play into his roles. Noe every time I watch a movie of his that’s just fine I try to guess what was going on in his life that he played into this movie. There were a lot of revenge movies in this era and it just makes me think… is his accountant still alive?
