Edge of Darkness (Review)

What I knew going in:
Mel Gibson in a mystery thriller about the muder of his daughter.  In the same vein as recent flims:  Man on Fire, Death Sentence, and Taken.

Hype:
Meh.  Like I said, I've seen this movie like 4 times in the past couple of years.

Opening Thoughts:
Mel Gibson tries a Bostonian accent.  Its almost kinda passable.  Except for the fact I know he's an Aussie.  All the spoken dialogue in this film is so low its almost whispered.  Ouch.  Shotty to the chest.  Interesting how the entire midsection of her shirt gets ripped away but nothing is shown that would make the movie rated R. Oh wait.  It IS rated R. 

Bottom Line:
Not bad, not great.  This film lies somewhere in the land of meh.  The end was good but I saw it coming from a mile away.  This film doesn't have any surprises, plot twists, or major character development.  I expect more from a script that Gibson signs on for.
