Seeking Justice is about a loyal, honorable teacher of New Orleans who teaches troubled youth of New Orleans. Nicolas Cage plays the character Will, the teacher. January Jones who plays Will’s wife. Harold Perrineau who plays Will’s bestfriend Jimmy. As I mentioned, Will who is a well respected teacher in his school and person in his community. It’s funny how things can just change at a mere drop of a coin. A person life can totally change. It all started with the assault and rape of his wife. The thought of that can kill any husband. So imagine your Will and your inside the hospital’s emergency room and your head is spinning out of control. You just found out that your wife was raped and assaulted and have been taken to the hospital’s e.r. What would you do? I don’t know, what I would do but I know what Will did. Was it a wise decision? You would have to be the judge of that.
This is where the movie got interesting. Inside the emergency room that’s where Will met Guy Pearce who plays Simon aka Eugene. Simon is supposed to be a leader of some sort of secret crime fighting organization. Created to rebuild the City of New Orleans, when in actuality its just a mob front. The nature of Simon and Will, coming in contact in the e. r. Simon claims he heard of Will’s wife’s misfortune and wanted to offer his support and assistance. Will accepted Simon’s offer though with reservations. Any husband placed in a simliar situation wouldn’t think twice about vengeance. Especially if someone is offering to perform the service on your behalf. However though there is always a catch 22.
