Re: Edge of Darkness (2009)
"Payback" itself was a remake....of a GREAT movie called "Point Blank" with Lee Marvin....
I went and saw it yesterday instead of watching the Super Bowl....I thought it was a decent movie...however, as Darrell mentioned, very cookie-cutter. The religious statements throughout the movie by Mel Gibson's character were a little too much in my opinion, especially since they never gave any back story too why he would be that way. The lack of other details in the movie also make it way too predictable and almost easy. What was Ray Winstone's character dying from? How was the corrupt Senator an actual character that had to be? There were many a plot hole...but all in all, a good way too burn up 2 hours with a non-computer animated movie....
