Escape to the Movies: Edge of Darkness

Good thing they cut him off at the end, I was afraid I'd have to reach through the screen and kill him.
No mention of PAYBACK, I'm surprise!
This was simply the best revenge story after the Count of Montecristo.
Plus the fact that, Porter (Gibson in Payback) is not looking for clue and simply beat the crap of people to get answers!
When I first saw the trailer for Edge of Darkness, I couldn't help but felt like I had seen Gibson in a similar movie, and I might be right!
Ok, I admit, the motivations aren't the same, but the result is!

Sweet intro.
These are probably the most solid and intelligent movie reviews outside of the New Yorker, and hands down the funniest.

Mel Gibson does always put himself 100% into his project, say what you will about Passion of the Christ but Gibson was clearly committed to his vision of it. Apocalypto was also a very strong R-Rated adventure film in my mind.
He recetly said he's got the acting bug back so this movie looks like a good way to kill 2 hours. Mels future is optimistic.

He forgot Ray Winstone's role in "King Arthur." What? Sure it was a shitty movie, but it had some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen in anything. Other than Tristran, Bors (Winstone) was the best part of that movie.

mel gibson may be farther off the edge than courtney love but if theres one thing he knows, its storytelling. alot of people dont give him credit for that, but if you need a good example, check out apocolypto
Honestly don't know what MovieBob has against religion in media. And The Book of Eli is vastly less cliched than this movie. You might as well just slap a "Hello, my name is ____. You killed/kidnapped my family, prepare to die" sticker on it and move on.
A movie based around Mel just going around beating people up is praiseworthy, but the action in Eli apparently isn't worth anything? O wait, it has the Bible in it, automatic fail then. :/
