MOVIE REVIEW: Edge of Darkness

By Lawrence Griffin | gargoyle@flagler.edu

This is a terrible movie. I have really no other way to start this off, other than that. Edge of Darkness is a very, very boring movie that only breaks up the boredom to either offend you or disgust you, or both. The basic premise is that Mel Gibson’s daughter comes home for a vague reunion and will not disclose much about her current life. Obviously hiding something, she is killed less than ten minutes into the film, and it is all downhill from there.

As I walked through the woods behind the grocery store towards the campfire light, I was met by a man who asked, “What’s with the camera?”
