Elements Bits: Seeking Justice

Cast:

Nicholas Cage – Will Gerard

Guy Pearce – Simon

January Jones – Laura Gerard

After Will Gerard’s wife was brutally attacked, and he feels that the police are not doing everything they can to solve the case, Will hopes to find ways how to bring this man to justice. He is approached by Simon, who represents an organization that claims they can put to justice the man who did this to his wife, swiftly and quietly.

Apprehensive at first, Will thinks it’s a too good to be true offer since Simon claims the services will not cost him a dime. They would just ask for a favor from him later on. And what favor would this be?

Six months have passed, and Will and Laura are doing well, then suddenly, Simon would like to cash in on that favor. But Will refuses to follow Simon’s instructions, and this refusal is met with severe repercussions. Will Gerard may have underestimated the power of Simon’s organization.

Elements Bits number 1:

Justice is blind. Unfortunately for some cases, this is a really bad thing. Because even if at plain sight it can already be proven that a crime has been committed, criminals get away with it because of technicalities. Whether it’s a violation of arrest protocols or mishandled tagging of the evidence, the slightest mistake can tip the scales of justice.

Elements Bits number 2:

Just like in the Godfather, I do this favor for you, and I will call upon your services later on. This gesture can go a long way. It can build trust more than friendship, since the other person now knows that they can rely on you in times of need. But like in the movie, some favors will only get you into more trouble. Evaluate the offers and understand the fine print; you may be selling your soul to the devil already.

How we wish that our justice system is served like how the Three Furies and Dike, the Goddess of Justice execute it.
