mel gibson sucks as a person so I did not want to watch this movie, but somehow when I was with some friends we ended up rented it on demand and I... VED THIS MOVIE! Mel does a great job with his Boston accent and the twists and turns in this movie were GREAT! I ended up buying it on DVD and have now seen it 4 times and many more to come. GREAT MOVIE Full Review

I thought that movie was fantastic. Loved it. Anyone who disagrees is a pansy.

As usual Mel Gibson has a Great Movie. I enjoyed the mystery and the pace. I've seen it once in the theater, rented it once, and will definitely... y it. It is a great followup to the Lethal Weapon character. Full Review

An intense Mel Gibson performance anchors this brutally effective crime thriller.Full Review

Though the experience is nerve-racking and cathartic under Campbell's skilled direction, musings on family and grief and Gibson's intense, but subtle, performance stay with us longest.Full Review

I don't see Edge of Darkness as a great movie, or a particularly exalted one, but I do see it as one made by people who know where the buttons are - and who know how to press them. Hard.Full Review

His (Gibson) slow-burn fury keeps the movie going, but not enough to invest us in any justice beyond payback.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

The movie’s weaknesses include the overuse of grainy flashbacks of Craven’s daughter as a child, and the conversations he has with her after she is gone. Both are tremendously moving ideas but eventually succumb to bathos from repetition.Full Review
