"The Edge of Darkness"

Alright, so i have just seen the latest Mel
Gibson movie "Edge of Darkness" and to my
belief I was shocked by how good it was. especially, with the lack of advertisment, which made thi movie an underdog in the box office. First off, Anyone who has seen the trailer can expect to get exactly what the trailer depicts. A cop loses his daughter and sets out to solve the murder that others conclude was self explanatory as a shooting in an attempt to get revenge against a cop. Except this movie takes a twist with the goal, taking things at face value sometimes just don't cut it. I believe what really made this movie was the roles mel Gibson and Winstone were really convincing and well matched. Another thing I liked about this movie was that it kept me up and at the end of my seat.

Gibson and Ray Winstone were so perfect for the roles they played. The tension from both kept me clinging to my seat and wiping my brow. Gibson probably had his best role in this movie.Many people would say that mel's role was very similar of those in the "Lethal Weapon" series, but I have seen most of his movies starting with Lethal Weapon and I could not see one potential likeness of Martin Riggs in Edge of Darkness, except for the fact he played a cop. Like I said beforethough this movie will keep you at th edge of your seat not only with it's action scenes in the movie but also with the turns and suprises this movie has. For example, this is also a spoiler, but there is this really suprising scene when Mel meets up with one of his daughters friend for any clues or information she migh shine on the case then when the meeting is finished, BOOOM! she is hit by a car. In Conclusion this movie is an Excellent movie and it is good to see Mel Back in action, and i'm hoping to see him in more movies like this.
