Edge of Darkness

The acting, with the exception of Bojana Novakovic, adds nothing to the trite plot.

In a film of unimpressionable characters, and vacant plots, Edge of Darkness is forgettable, dry and at times boring.

Gibson, of course, snaps and snarls and blows out some brains with a joylessness that is thoroughly enjoyable. It's like he never left.

Edge of Darkness is effective as a cathartic revenge yarn, at least until the absurdities begin to pile up during the final half-hour.
