Review: Edge Of Darkness

The nonsense level... so disappointing.

This is one of the most predictable and cliched movies I've ever seen.

"(...) back to making predictable nonsense like Payback and Conspiracy Theory rather than anything like Lethal Weapon or Mad Max."
Does it mean that LW or MM were less predictable than Payback or CT? Imho, predictability of all these films lands somewhere close. Or the point was that they were predictable but still less nonsense...?

Thought the trailer looked good, but the review makes me sad. Far too many average police thrillers out there for this to make much of an impact. For what it's worth, I quite like Gibson is this sort of role, and even though he's obviously a clearly troubled man with more demons than a Buffy box set (heyooo) he's got a good screen presence.

There are brief moments where he threatens to go loose cannon, but not enough.

I was really hoping he would give us some good old fashioned Martin-Riggs-circa-1987 psychosis-- Gibson in all his unhinged glory, if you will. Damn.
