I just finished watching Edge of Darkness starring Mel Gibson.  The storyline has been done several times with a few different twists.  It was an interesting watch and definitely worth renting.  My rating 3 out of 5 stars.

Just by chance I saw three revenge-mystery films this week.

The Hunting Party (1971) with Gene Hackman exacting revenge on the men who kidnapped his wife.

D.O.A. (1950) with Edmond O'Brian as the hero who has been given a slow poison for which there is no cure, and only a day or so to solve and exact revenge on his own murder before he dies.

And Edge of Darkness where Mel hunts down his daughter's killers. Now Mr. Gibson can do revenge with the best of them but in this film he does more sobbing than shooting. This movie in no better or no worse than the other two movies I saw this week, I'll give it a solid 2.5 out of 5 stars.

I rented this movie with my gf and a good friend...my gf fell asleep and my friend and I were underwhelmed.  It's not a horrid movie, but it's barely average.
