Edge of Darkness is a thriller that attempts to take you off of you seats, but fails doing so.  When Thomas Craven’s (Mel Gibson) daughter is accidentally shot as the two leave their house on the way to the hospital, Craven vows his revenge for the horrific killing.  When his initial thoughts that he was the real target are proven wrong, he discovers that his daughter was involved in trying to get the truth out about a government conspiracy.  By himself, he tries to piece together the information and track down those involved to get justice for his daughter, and to learn the truth.

This movie was a poor man’s Taken, and was even more underdeveloped than that movie.  We find nothing about Cravens past or why he ended up the way he is.  All we know is his daughter is killed, and this one cop somehow drives everywhere finding out information and killing all of these hired thugs in the process unraveling it all.  The brings no real dimension to it and is laughable at times.  So many characters are underdeveloped and prove no real value to the movie.  At times it seems like the movie is trying to be lead with some major twists, when in the end its just annoying its getting confusing for no reason.  This was not a very good movie, no shocker it was dumped in January with the rest of the turd movies.  It may be sad to say but Gibson is at the end of his career and pretty pathetic that this is the first movie he has done in years and this is what he gives the audience.  Let me know your thoughts if you saw it and the video review is below.
