I have seen JUSTICE!!!
Permalink  
 


I am still a little in (pleasant) shock that i have had this privilige, but I saw Justice last night! 

I will not say too much at this stage, other than, this is a brilliant film on many levels! We get to see Nic in yet another new way, or perhaps it is because we have not seen Nic in a role or film such as thiss for some time (I still have not seen Trespass so this is the first thriller I have seen Nic in for some time) and yet there are also glorious echoes and Cageisms from films we have not seen for many years! you will know them when you see them!

It is an electrifying combination of thriller, action, and also begins with some slightly comedic elements (althought to give that any weight at all would  be wrong as without giving spoilers, any glimpses of that are at the beginning when we neet his charcter, and very soon overshadowed by the harrowing storyline. which is made even more effective by the way the film opens, with Nic as a funny very very loving, intelligent and passionate character. as the film unfolds, things get far more complex and layered, as does Nic's character..what I find interesting here is the nuances and depth he gives to the role, as is often the case his presence shines brightly in this film even as he is dealing with really heavy stuff.. and becomes the main pull of the movie. I found it really emotional in the sense that there is tension all the way through that i could feel almost in the pit of my stomach, both an overt tension because of the storyline and the situation that Nic's character Will finds himself in, you really feel the weight of that...  but something subliminal that niggles away at you.

I think the plot is excellent, and I also like the kind of urban feel to the film.

I have no idea why Justice has received such a bizarre run up to distribution, this is a really good film, and for me a very exciting part of Nic's filmogarphy! starry

How wonderful, Lula! I am so excited for you, and a little envious too, lol! Usually it is you who must wait to see Nic's movies after we North Americans have had the priviledge, so this makes me very happy!

Just when i thought Nic as an actor could stun me no more, there are moments in his performance in Justice when he really really does, he delivers such emotional power and  in such a seemingly subtle way, absolutely authentic acting. I mean I know Nic is the best actor of the times, and I have had the pleasure of watching that in film for years, but there was something new here that I almost can't put my finger on ...which was exciting for me.

first imdb said it will be shown in 2011 but that wont work. now theres no news about it anymore. after all what are they waiting for??

Dear flo,  can we just celebrate the film itself in this topic? for me it was a wonderful experience and I know you enjoyedf the film too! we do have about 3 other topics where people are berating the lack of US release though... maybe those kind of comments can go there?

thanks! flowerface

I am curious to know if you saw any of the things i just mentioned in Nic's acting in Justice flo?! bouncyfrog

I do agree with you Flo - absolutely! 

What a refreshing perspective you've given the movie Lula!  Makes me want to see it even more!  I'm particularly drawn to your comments: "what I find interesting here is the nuances and depth he gives to the role...." I am so excited about the movie and hope my concerns that there won't be an American distribution, will simply melt away.  Excellent review Lula - thank you!

I finally got to watch it today! Frankly speaking,I am overwhelmed by emotions right now,I couldn't even imagine that the movie would be THAT good. I was literally at the edge of my seat and had to remind myself to breathe from time to time. And I'd say I saw a new side of Nouveau Shamanic that I never saw in any Nic movie before. Mr Nic's performance is beyond phenomenal. 10 out of 10!!!!!!!

Whoop!! Happy to hear you have seen Justice voodoo child, bouncy thank you for sharing your thoughts and excitement on the film!! starry

I absolutely agree with you..there IS something new here in this film..perhaps something that only us seasoned Cageiacs would discern because we have travelled the glorious road and visited each of Nic's performances over the years...for me this was the most thrilling aspect of Justice..Nic bringing something new yet again for our viewing pleasure. it does feel like an honour to witness such an emotionally powerful performance. starry

I can't wait on your behalf, Gina! I have to say, it is an odd experience, having seen a film here in the uk well in advance of the US, and I cannot lie.. it is NICe that the shoe is on the other foot for one rare time! starry

I liked Trespass and Justice, it was a shame they came out together because they are similar movies. I think I preferred Justice because I like action and there was more action in it. I like to see a bit of romance in a film as well, granted, there wasn't much in this, but there was that scene in the beginning.bowsmiley I was a bit thinking that Nic's character should have been more emotional but then I realised he was in shock.

Lol, and by 'romance' you mean Nic nookie nicschix!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Justice and Trespass, I found them to be two very different films, in terms of the story, the tone and the characters Nic brought to life.  for me the emotion Nic brought to his character in Justice is what made this movie...and it was a yet again a new side to Nic's acting that really moved me. this was not one of his 'out of the box' performances, almost contained, but the kinetic power of the emotion was radiant, and felt,  intensely so. and yes..there are those contrasts to that in the beginning of the movie...chickendance
