Edge of Darkness - 8 stars out of 10

Edge of Darkness - 8 stars out of 10

Edge of Darkness' story transforms from simplicity into complexity as the layers continually unravel to reveal a great conspiracy. It is filled with raw, adrenaline-pumping action and will leave your jaw on the floor with its twists. Some movies ease into a twist to allow your mind time to process what is happening, but this movie throws something in your face and leaves you in shock. Mel Gibson is in his element as an action hero against all odds. The English guy was difficult to understand - it would have been better with Robert DeNiro, had he not walked out on the film after the first rehearsal. If you are expecting Lethal Weapon, you will be disappointed. Edge of Darkness is dark and gritty without an ounce of humor, but with leave you with a satisfied feeling.
