Let’s start off by saying that I have been a fan of Mel Gibson’s for a long time. Whenever he has done thrillers and period pieces he seems at his strongest. “Edge Of Darkness” takes Mel back to those thriller roots we know him so well for. His performance in this movie borrows from movies like Ransom, Taken and Payback in terms of pace and ferocity.
Gibson plays Detective Thomas Craven, a man whose daughter is brutally killed in his home. Craven thinks she was killed because of his police work. However, her murder is a part of something far bigger and far more dangerous.
I am glad to see that Mel Gibson is returning back to his successful roots. I will be going to check this out for sure.
