Releasing the very same week that ‘Taken’ released last year, ‘Edge of Darkness’ marks a return for Mel Gibson in a leading role and is so far looking good. Here’s a new banner that highlights the star power even more.

“Edge of Darkness” is an emotionally charged thriller set at the intersection of politics and big business. Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, twenty-four year-old Emma (Bojana Novakovic), is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter’s secret life and her killing. His investigation leads him into a dangerous, looking glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder – and to shadowy government operative Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone), who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven’s solitary search for answers about his daughter’s death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.

They’re trying to sell it just like ‘Taken’ and that might work wonders box-office wise, but there is a lot more to the story than the revenge tale that ‘Taken’ was. A deep and complex corporate conspiracy to be exact.

Still, waiting for Gibson’s triumphant return.
