| One Guy's OpinionFrank Swietek'Death Wish' goes the corporate route in this silly action-thriller that's nonetheless leagues beyond Nicolas Cage's usual fare. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfThe film can't even rely on Nicolas Cage to raise its heartbeat, finding the actor looking tired and disinterested. Frankly, with this script, I don't blame him. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe idiocy of the film's conceit is that Simon recruits innocents like Will to carry out these vigilante killings. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeNeither the script's conspiracies nor Nicolas Cage's performance is weird enough to trump the film's generic feel. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinThere is a strange and sometimes wondrous intensity in Cage's performances in these films; sometimes his madness is enough to elevate a film - like Werner Herzog's The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - to a kind of trashy sublimity. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterA bland revenge thriller with the Cage's blandest star turn since he sleepwalked through Bangkok Dangerous. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsJanuary Jones shoulders the thankless part of Cage's often imperiled wife. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedSeeking Justice is an intense thriller so full of shocks it keeps you wired from start to finish. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO] In spite of director Roger Donaldson's respectable pedigree-he directed such winners as "Thirteen Days" and "The World's Fastest Indian"-everything about "Seeking Justice" screams B movie. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzGood in spots, overall Cage is fine. Nothing more, nothing less. Kind of like Seeking Justice. |
