Review of Edge of Darkness (1943) by Jonathan G — 17 May 2014
Watchable but not a patch on the original, but how could it be? Mel Gibson is terrific but as always with a Hollywood film, you know who the main bad guys are and the plot twist betrayals just by who they cast in those parts.
What I call the 'Jerome Krabb manouvre'. The action is solid, but a tad silly at times... there is some nice understated drama which is then unbalanced by some obvious bits. Plus the film has my pet hate of inadvertently finishing with ghosts and proof of the afterlife.
.. which just doesn't fit/work with what the content of the film is. Ahh well... passed the time enjoyably enough but not enough to recommend or watch again.
