Gee, that's some exciting input :laugh:

But yeah, I think this looks kind of interesting. Gibson hasn't been in a good movie since 2002. And this just might break the mold

I have to ask to which film you're refering? When We Were Soldiers or Signs?

Personally, I haven't seen him in anything I liked since The Man Without A Face.

Signs, it's the last film he made in 2002. After that he had an uncredited role in Paparazzi in 2004, and then was in 3 episodes of some TV show called "Complete Savages" 2004-2005.

After Edge of Darkness (which is post production), hs's got three other films coming up. The Beaver (filming as we speak with a 2011 release date), Under and Alone (2010) and The Drowner (2011)

I have no evidence of this. Back in the '80's when I first watched this magnificent mini-series, I heard the following story...

Steven Spielberg saw the first two hours/episodes on Public TV. Rang the station, found out that they didn't have the other reels yet and so had the remaining reels immediately flown out from the UK.

Anyway, that's not so hard to believe.

A haunting, melancholy sound-track and brilliant Clapton guitar, great acting and such a fascinating plot. Three hours in and you're still wondering what it's all about. An incredible last hour.

The best made-for-TV I have ever seen; in a walk.

I want to say some good things about this movie since Mel Gibson is in it, but, to me it just looks like a rip-off of Taken.

Re: Edge of Darkness
 
That's probably just because of the marketing materials. They're close enough together that I doubt it was written after Taken was released, and from what I understand there's a lot of details in the film that aren't really conveyed in the trailer -- which is probably a good thing, if you ask me, given the unfortunate trend in the other direction.

Let's not be too quick to judge. This isn't the Wayans Bros. doing Kidnapped Movie, it's Mel Gibson. I don't think this is some banged-out knock-off script.

From the reports, the film is more dramatic than action oriented. So a lot of people saying that it is like Taken are off.

I like serious movies . And i think "Edge of darkness" it is also a serious movie. The trailer is not opening in my browser but i will watch.
