The Edge of Darkness starring Mel Gibson is a movie not to be missed. It is a thriller, literally. Expect sudden scenes that will startle you and be prepared to not anticipate, because you will never know what will come next. There will be certain scenes of dialogue that makes it seem a little boring and mundane, but it is merely just a prelude to exciting scenes.
In a nutshell, the movie is about a father's quest for the truth behind her daughter's death. Shot right in front of his eyes, he disbelieves the notion that he, being the cop, was the intended victim. Not knowing anything about his daughter's life or work, whom he single-handedly brought up, this movie is about his path for the truth, and for the greater good of mankind.
