Edge of Darkness

Boston detective, Mel Gibson, embarks on a personal investigation of his daughter's murder and finds himself at the 'Edge of Darkness' in a mix of national security issues, corruption and conspiracy.

Thankfully Gibson tones down some of the manic facial expressions that have marked his preceding performances. He takes us on a slick and quite engrossing journey which I found entertaining throughout despite the fact that the conspiracies become increasingly convoluted to the point where I had little idea 'what was behind whom' by the end. Typically for a Gibson film, the body count rises exponentially as the film reaches it's climax.
