Edge of Darkness

About This Movie

Edge of Darkness has this gritty, heavy atmosphere that really sets it apart. Mel Gibson, as Craven, brings a raw intensity to his role that I found quite compelling—he's not just a grieving father, but a man consumed by vengeance. The pacing is slow at times, but it adds to the tension; you really feel the weight of his journey. Martin Campbell’s direction shines in the way he builds suspense, using practical effects that feel grounded rather than flashy. The film dives into themes of corruption and personal loss, exploring what it means to seek justice when the system fails you. Not a light watch, but it leaves a mark that lingers.
