Promising idea, but it's execution is somewhat lacking

Warning: Spoilers
Once again, Nicholas Cage stars in an independent production in an effort to pay off his substantial tax debt. To be fair, I didn't find "Seeking Justice" to be an awful movie. The production values are pretty good for an effort not made by a major Hollywood studio (though there are two or three sequences that are horribly photographed). And I can't say that I was bored at any time watching the movie. But the script (spoilers ahead) has a number of plot holes, as well as people not acting in a realistic manner. How did the vigilante organization know who attacked Cage's wife? Why doesn't Cage question the offer to kill his wife's attacker with more than one question? Why does Cage have to buy chocolate bars to accept the offer to kill his wife's attacker instead of just saying "Yes, do it"? Who actually runs this vigilante organization, and manages to keep it secret for the most part for so long? Questions like these come up throughout the movie. If the screenwriters had the characters act like real people, we might have had something here. As it is, the movie passes the time, but the questions it raises will ultimately annoy you.
