Jup, sometimes realy anoying that it sucks for translating texts. I once used it to translate a text for a french lecture, I never ever do that again :S

Done it! Not a great review however..some of It i struggle to understand. Even in English!

After knowing the reputation in the eighties with The Bounty and have continued with such films as No Way Out, The Recruit and the perfect robbery, Roger Donaldson seems to have all it takes to describe the evolution and the torment of a decent man in front of the lure of private revenge. A trust, however, that the Australian director has not honored by completing a product that, even while being in the vein of the Action with a moral, leaves no doubt the sign of originality and involvement. Probably fascinated by the problems of conscience raised already at the time of Death Wish, Donaldson was unable to go beyond the path already traced by Michael Winner, if not using the prototype of a hero more blurred and politically correct than it has ever been Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey on.

So, in an attempt to take hold of a renewed civic spirit, the director has worked on the screenplay by Robert Tannen clinging steadfastly to a preconceived set of images and moods that, besides having the disadvantage of forming the cornerstones of a kind all too altered, they just deal with the vision of Winner, certainly more extreme and courageous. Chicago's violent replaced with the equally historically dangerous New Orleans and brought back to headlines film inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the legal structure, only for revenge track a human journey punctuated methodically by almost cliché of great narratives that undermine predictability with stubborn perseverance on the principle of suspense which should govern the entire apparatus of a narrative action thriller.

In the firm conjugal union exalted since the first frames, through the momentary desire to get revenge for the inevitable rebellion against the criminal system with a lot of friendships put to the test, the viewer is dragged to coast through a series of situations where you know have the background and development thanks to a very intricate plot and defined. To make matters worse fiction, devoted to a clear simplification, also contributes to the subelement journalistic investigation, but may bring new life into each other and become the axis on which to run the whole project, is relegated to the role of randomness be used as a mirror to reflect on which scarcely troubled the conscience of the protagonist.
But what hurts the film more than any artistic choice or directing the image of a hero is annoyingly invisible, the righteousness which is induced into temptation on the surface while his personality more and more pale in the constant attempt to prove his unfailing honesty. So, in an attempt to deliver the portrait of a human being right and thinking, Nicolas Cage certainly does not offer as a vehicle for emotions. Flawless and morally correct in even the most critical moments, his Will does not seem to ever victim of human weaknesses, not give way to instinct avoiding in this way, any game identification with a character without making us regret and emotional variables, at least film from the point of view, the objectionable but recognizable complexity of a man who could become executioner of love.

Hi Johnny, thanks for posting a second review! Glad you worked out how to translate in the end, though as you say, the language is as thick as treacle I really don't get what they are saying! Do you have the link for that review? I'd quite like to see it in it's original form, thanks!

I thought the first review I posted was quite positive! Here is hoping we all get a chance to experience the movie for oursleves soon.

Hi Lulu. Second review was on IMDB too. If you Google Seeking Justice Nicolas Cage in "News" quite a few reviews in Italian are coming up.

Good to see more reviews coming along, these ones make much more sense and seem positive! so these are individuals posting their own reviews on on IMDB? sorry to be a pain but it would be cool if you could post the links with them, I like to credit the source. and then we know we are not going to duplicate as well, thanks! the only 2 i can find on imdb are the external ones, the link i posted first and this one:

If it is ok with you Johnny, I will make your links live! (if you go to edit your post, you will see how i did it!)

Hello everybody,

In somehow, we can celebrate the 7.8 rating in IMDB. It's a good result, knowing that a limited numbers of people has voted (most part italians I guess...).

It's encouraging for all expectations we put in this movie.

 Hi Powermad!

Thanks for that update, the imdb vote is from 80 people http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1214962/ 

I agree, an encouraging figure! I do remain entirely obective and unswayed about a film based on other people's own subjective opinions though....my own  expectations are formed entirely differently...Hopefully we will all soon have the opportunity to give our own opinion!
