Its been a while since we have seen Mel Gibson back in action, and he is returning to the big screen with a bang in Edge of Darkness. Check out the edgy UK Poster for the film.
EDGE OF DARKNESS is an emotionally charged thriller set at the intersection of politics and big business. Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, twenty-four year old Emma (Bojana Novakovic), is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter’s secret life and her murder.
There are a lot of people drawing a comparison to Taken, but after digesting my initial reaction to this I think the anger triggered in a man by the tragic events surrounding his daughter is the only common thread here.
Yeah, the father is motivated strongly by his daughter’s death but I want to see how they play out that emotional burden thinking that he was the target and it got her killed, then when he finds out that he wasn’t the target he has to face the reality that maybe she wasn’t Daddy’s little angel.
This looks pretty good, and I will be catching this at some point.
