Edge of Darkness is all set to be released in the year 2010. The movie, as the writers and directors have put it, can be called as a simple movie with a unique twist. That is how the directors want to term this film, as it may seem to be a clichéd plot but the viewers are sure to get surprised by the end. The plot follows the life of a homicidal detective who is investigating his own daughter’s murder case. He looks out for clues only to find that before his daughter’s death she was an activist who made some intense discoveries about the political system. The movie is sure to satisfy fans with the edge-of-the-seat action and a lot of drama that is quite reminiscent of the TV series with the same name. The original TV series had a wonderful theme and was quite successful back in those days and it is great to see the same directors and producers from that show creating a movie similar in quality to the hit TV series.

The makers have still not given away too much on the plot and how exactly the movie will pace out. However the movie is made with a lot of experienced actors, Mel Gibson being the biggest of the lot, and all of them have quite a lot to prove in this movie. It has been a while since we saw Mel Gibson on the screens and he indeed is the highlight of the movie. On the last few occasions, the audience saw him as a director in highly-acclaimed movies like The Passion of Christ and Apocalypto, which showed his amazing skills in film making. But with Edge of Darkness, Mel has to relaunch himself as a good actor and judging by the snippet previews it is safe to think that it is quite likely to happen. Apart from Mel Gibson, actors like Ray Winston too have made an interesting appearance in the movie, and judging from the previews he too has made a mark that is quite noteworthy. The best part of the movie is the fact that it is directed by Martin Campbell, a director who excels in this genre of movies. His award winning movies like Golden Eye and Casino Royale were not only critically acclaimed but were also extremely successful at the box office. The writers of the movie are also from the same league, having won awards for the movie The Departed, and they completely succeeded at winning the hearts of critics worldwide.

The Edge of Darkness, with its early 2010 January release, is indeed quite promising and definitely something that action thriller fans have to look out for. Make sure to catch this movie when it hits the theaters soon.
