Edge of Darkness...

...Mel Gibson's return to the screen after a long absence as a loner Boston cop whose 20-something daughter is shot in front of him.

If you've seen the trailers, you know she was involved in some corporate intrigue involving a US Senator.

Gibson looks old and tired. There is plenty of action and violence mixed in with flashback's of Gibson's daughter as a child to tug at your heartstrings.

Plot resolution a little difficult to buy.

I'd give it a C-.

    95% Germans fully suported uncle Adolph even in 1944. They all should've burned...or at least they should be treated the "Israeli" way. Men should be shot , houses destroyed, trees cut and the land poised. That's what I've heard from arab students in US. Sure they were biased and blind. World is a cruel place. Anyway wrong forum

      Better look at what Einstein said about Germany.
