Director: Richard Gabai, Defiant Screen Entertainment
Cast: Nathan Parsons, Stephen Lang, Jackson Rathbone, Jamie-Lynn Sigler
The advertising blurb gives a clear indication of the storyline: ‘revenge has a new name’. Justice takes us back to a popular genre, a western, but with a spiritual/supernatural twist.
Parsons (The Originals, True Blood, General Hospital) is James McCord, a US Marshall whose quest to avenge his brother’s death, leads him to defend a small town from corrupt Mayor Pierce (Lang, Avatar).
Rathbone (The Twilight Saga) plays Thomas McCord, his preacher brother. Lang is brilliant as the villain and Parsons has assurance.
Gabai directs a period piece that defines how Pierce’s outlaws are trying to restart the Civil War.
Name the soap that launched the career of Nathan Parsons and you could win one of two DVDs of Justice. Entries should be sent to [email protected] by next Monday, 7 May 2018. Names of the winners will be announced in Frank Cassidy’s PS-sssst…! column next week.
