Film Review: Edge Of Darkness

Edge Of Darkness is the potential comeback for Mel Gibson (hasn't acted in a mainstream flick since "Signs". While Gibson is good in this, this isn't exactly a fully triumphant return.

The film is about Thomas Craven (Gibson) finding out who murdered his daughter and why she was murdered. The mystery leads to political conspiracies and Gibson being a badass, if there were more scenes of Gibson being a badass, I would have called it a triumphant return.

While the film is well-directed and acted, the only flaw is the predictable story. I knew where everything was going, it reminded me of all those political mystery thrillers. While the story was predictable, I was still entertained, thanks too Mel.

This movie was a mildly less badass version of Taken, except the violence is more satisfying in this one. Despite the film's predictable plot, the film still entertains and Gibson hasn't lost his touch as far as acting goes.

Overall Grade: B-
