Edge of Darkness

“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 killing. His investigation leads him into a dangerous, looking glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder – and to shadowy government operative Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone), who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven’s solitary search for answers about his daughter’s death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.

This looks bad-ass.
The original is one of my all time favorite movies.

That was a five hour spy thriller. This looks dumbed down to a two hour easy to follow revenge drama for Americans. So it cant be too close of a remake.

The original had Bob Peck skillfully allowing himself to be used by competing spymasters to uncover what happened to his daughter. The remake has Mel Gibson crashing cars and shooting guns whilst shouting "I`m the guy with nothing to lose" and ominous voices saying, "we have to abort."

So, yeah... Dumbed down for Americans.

I had never heard about this show, so I`m glad I have you guys here to inform me.

I think some of the comments here are disheartening because... well... they`re accurate. And they don`t even have to be. Movies are dumbed down for Americans but a great deal of us don`t want things dumbed down.

I like my movies complex, deep, and fascinating. And from what I`m hearing, this movie probably won`t be.

However, I`m hoping to be wrong and this turns out to be an honorable tribute.

We can hope.

Wait. Isn`t Harrison Ford usually cast in these movies? He plays the vengeance and justice seeking father perfectly.

^I was thinking the same thing, until I read up about the original miniseries. I want to watch that miniseries more than anything now.

For all those who haven`t seen the original, it can be bought on DVD for a mere £12.00 from Amazon (see link below)and it is well worth the money. The story is slow moving, but grips from the start.

The acting is in a class of it`s own with Bob Peck and the superb Joe Don Baker playing Jedburgh.
And to top it all off the music is by Eric Clapton and Nick Kamen.

*Edit
As a side note, if you liked this you might want to check out another kick-ass film from the same era, Defense of the Realm.
