Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Leo Robson (65) for Financial Times (1,822) on 02 Feb 2010

As if to divert the viewer from the mounting feelings of frustration and bafflement, Gibson crashes a car or cracks a skull every couple of scenes…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 02 Feb 2010

By the final reel the script has lost all interest in the plot's complexities and drops the pretence of darkness in favour of a frenzied shoot-'em-up…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Larushka Ivan-Zadeh (441) for Metro (UK) (700) on 02 Feb 2010

A silly remake of the 1985 BBC TV series, this features the sort of tough-guy dialogue not growled since Arnie bowed out of cinema, eg: 'The…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Independent on Sunday (201) on 02 Feb 2010

Perforated with plot holes, and disastrously unsure of its tone, it starts steadily and sombrely, before switching to a hysterical parody of…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 02 Feb 2010

The film, while it doesn't lack tension, never catches fire. Compared with the mini-series, it seems flattened out and improbable…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for News of the World (402) on 02 Feb 2010

What's left still holds up nicely, thanks to firm plotting, Campbell's neat direction and a brace of decent performances…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Grant Lauchlan (65) for Daily Record (UK) (215) on 02 Feb 2010

Despite the sometime derivative trappings of the modern thriller, he delivers an intense slice of solid entertainment - although he never quite…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Alistair Harkness (1,042) for Scotsman (1,471) on 02 Feb 2010

It's no candidate for greatness, but it does a good job of condensing a six-hour story into a lean thriller without feeling as if too much…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 02 Feb 2010

A bleak but engrossing and gripping thriller…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Catherine Jones (104) for Liverpool Echo (161) on 02 Feb 2010

The film version condenses six episodes of edge-of-seat suspense into an engrossing two hours…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Charlie Lyne (195) for Ultra Culture (187) on 02 Feb 2010

There are plenty of tense, even powerful moments, but they're surrounded by so much talky bullshit, illogical plotting and mumbly dialogue…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Film4 Staff (125) for Film4 (1,522) on 02 Feb 2010

Passable action thriller crafted solidly but unimaginatively, with a penchant for ridiculous tough-boy banter…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Ben Mceachen (47) for Sunday Times (Australia) (102) on 01 Feb 2010

Gibson remains as rough and tough as ever, yet his older figure and stern demeanour provide a personable core to what could have spiralled…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Annette Basile (56) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 01 Feb 2010

Perhaps the intrigue could have been boosted a little, but the formidable performances, biting script and Campbell's flair for visual storytelling…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for New Yorker (1,403) on 01 Feb 2010

I liked the pace and the pulse of the film, but it launches no genuine surprise and, despite being irradiated with scenes of sickness and morbid…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Danny Minton (313) for Fort Bend Sun (57) on 31 Jan 2010

It's a deeper and more thought-provoking film than I could have expected or imagined…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 31 Jan 2010

The weightiness and the catastrophic implications of the conspiracy don't sit well with what is essentially a Death Wish-inspired revenge fantasy…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 31 Jan 2010

Ray Winstone's shady character represents both the screenwriter's desperate attempt at coherence and the audience's confusion; especially as…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 30 Jan 2010

The headline hoohah of the last couple of years made most of us forget that Gibson is an exceptional actor…

Review of Edge of Darkness (2010)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 30 Jan 2010

The mix and match of genres can certainly work in the right hands, but Campbell, an excellent journeyman director, never quite nails it down here…
