Talkie Zoo: THE EDGE OF DARKNESS

Absolutely, if you haven't seen this movie yet because of the previews, then you should go rent it right now. The trailers are misleading. This film isn't as much shoot-em-up as it is a psychological drama where a father is investigating the violent murder of his daughter, right before his eyes. The Edge of Darkness (2010; R) follows Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) through the twists and turns involved when someone is about to out a conspiracy.

In this film, the father doesn't go on an all out rampage, but methodically and legally investigates all the players in the murder, tying up loose ends and chasing down rabbit trails to leads that help him come closer to solving the mystery. His daughter was an employee of a large corporation and an activist, but Gibson doesn't know the depths of dangers she has become involved in. Even we, the audience, don't know for certain whether she was fighting against the over use of human growth hormone or if she was fighting an environmental threat. As the truth is revealed, Detective Craven becomes more determined and focused.
