Did It Suck Movie Reviews
Edge of Darkness
Review: 3.5 Stars Rated: R
Welcome back to the big screen Mel, it’s been a while. Mel has been drinking his milk and ginger-ale and comes back in this ‘not too shabby‘ film.
Plot: Detective Craven (Mel Gibson) has his only daughter gunned down right in front of him. Everyone suspects the bullet was meant for him. Craven doesn’t sit this one out, he’s the guy that has nothing to lose and doesn’t care. We follow Craven through his hunt where he finds some startling information; the killer may have intentionally shot his daughter and he was never the intended target.
Mel does an excellent job as this straight-up ‘smart as a whip‘ Cop. A good medium paced movie, slow in the beginning, but never really dropped off when things started to roll. I liked the way this film played out, easy to follow, and smart without having to be too technical. Mel Gibson fans will no doubt be happy as this is a good (in a manner of speaking) come-back movie for him. The movie could have used a bit more action but still Worth a Ticket.

There were too many people involved with what was going on in the movie and that made it confusing. The movie dragged along and was difficult to follow. I love the role of the daughter and the ending was way too late to save this from one I cannot recommend and will never watch again.
