Edge of Darkness

Being home sick has its benefits. Sat through this recent Mel Gibson (2010) feature this morning and for my part, was enjoyed.
This movie released in 2010 was directed by Martin Campbell, and written by William Monahan and Andrew Bovell.
Situated in Boston, the movie begins with the star's daughter coming home from work to visit her father. The young lady is spitting up blood and in short order is shot as she comes through the front door. The mother is long gone and not explained, so the bereaved detective puts all of his effort toward solving the case, and inside of that apply retribution. He for the most part achieves his goal, with the politicians taken care of by a man of similar skills and admiration for Thomas Craven.
The cast is.....
Mel Gibson as Thomas Craven
Ray Winstone as Darius Jedburgh, Winstone is becoming popular out there, was excellent in another Boston film, The Departed.
The rest does not really matter.
With the personal issues that Gibson has endured or brought upon himself, however you look at it. These types of movies may be what we forever see from here out, an aging actor playing aging roles.
I enjoyed the movie in as much as in not feeling well, the act of determination was inspiring. If you don't like cop movies or Mel Gibson, skip it.
