Observer
Seeking Justice is an intense thriller so full of shocks it keeps you wired from start to finish.
60
Village Voice
Seeking Justice is the kind of effective middle-range pulp thriller that has lately become an endangered species.

Miami Herald
Eventually, though, Seeking Justice devolves into the usual business of chases and elaborate double-crosses that leave behind all vestiges of realism for the sake of popcorn thrills.

Empire
An unsuspenseful thriller with shades of "Death Wish." Nicolas Cage's return to New Orleans doesn't even have a hallucinatory iguana to recommend it.

The Hollywood Reporter
Neither the script's conspiracies nor Nicolas Cage's performance is weird enough to trump the film's generic feel.

Time Out
Once upon a time, the star would have added both gravity and a manic edge to this wronged everyman. At this juncture, Cage is less believable as an average Joe than he is as, say, a cursed trick rider with a flaming skull for a head.

New York Daily News
Cage and the always-intense Pearce keep this thing going, but even they seem to know the ultimate destination is a bargain bin.

Chicago Sun-Times
Here is a story hammered together from discards at the Lunacy Factory. Attempting to find something to praise, I am reduced to this: Cage's performance is not boring.
