Edge of Darkness

Based at least partially on the 1980s British TV mini-series, this story is part Erin Brokovich and part Gran Torino. That is not a terrible thing. Those were great stories told very well. Watch this movie and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Mel Gibson plays a Boston cop investigating the death of his daughter. The deeper he goes, the deeper it gets. No real surprises there. His daughter is played by Bojana Novakovic.

This story is full of wonder characters. Wonderfully good, wonderfully mysterious, and wonderfully bad. To me, a good story has just the right mix.

This is yet another story about a Daddy-Daughter relationship. I like those for some odd reason. If that is not your thing don't worry. There are so many other things going on you won't have to focus on the relationship.

This happen very fast in this movie so bucket up. It is violent with just a touch of gore. But, as I've already said, it's fast, it action-packed, and it's interesting.

Watch this with someone who loves the conspiracy-theory stories. See if they click with this one.
