Edge of Darkness is the Hollywood film adaptation of the BBC television series of the same name. It was directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale (2006), The Mask of Zorro), and stars Mel Gibson and Bojana Novakovic (Drag Me to Hell). The film was released by Warner Bros. in 2010 to mixed critical reception.Widowed detective Thomas Craven (Gibson) lived only for his career with the Boston PD and his daughter, Emma (Novakovic). During an unexpected visit at Craven's home, Emma suddenly becomes violently ill at the dinner table... and, in a panic, urges her father to take her to the hospital, telling Craven that there was something important she needed to tell him as they prepared to leave. Before he could find out what that was, Emma is fatally shot in the chest by a masked assailant on Craven's front porch... a shot that the Boston Police believed was meant for Craven himself.However, his daughter's strange behavior before her death gives Craven reason to doubt that assumption. And the deeper he digs into Emma's past and the secretive nature of her work, the more reason he has to believe that the assassin's bullet was, in fact, meant for her. Soon Craven finds himself in the midst of a conspiracy involving powerful corporations, ruthless killers, and some of the highest levels of the United States government. Unwilling to let his daughter's death be in vain, Craven vows to pursue the truth no matter the cost to his career, or even his own life.Not to be confused with the 1943 World War II film, also titled Edge of Darkness. | |

The Stoic: Craven, a former Vietnam vet who can't understand why others "make such a big deal" out of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, shows little outward signs of his emotions aside from a brief breakdown after Emma's death. | |

The Film of the Series: While Campbell also directed the original television series, the film adaptation received some major changes both to make it more US-centric, and to give it more of a modern-day revenge thriller feel. | |

Perfect Poison: Using radioactive thallium to kill both Cravens, as the thallium is tasteless, odorless and deadly after a few days. Furthermore, Emma worked with radioactive material so there's plausible deniability. | |

I Have a Family: a couple of interesting variations; Jedburgh asks this of a Punch-Clock Villain state trooper who catches him executing the senator. When he says he does, Jedburgh (who's dying anyway) lowers his gun and lets the guy shoot him. Bill uses this as his excuse for betraying Craven to the bad guys. Craven replies "I don't." | |
