Edge of Darkness

We went to see this on Friday movie night. Had read reviews that it was pretty good, but that it didn't compare to the BBC Miniseries that it was based on. That miniseries must be pretty darn good, because this movie was great. Our only complaint was with the sound. Part of this is our small town theater (the speakers were actually buzzing during dialogue, I think), and part is our not 100% hearing capabilities. Some might have been the movie itself. Other sounds were plenty loud, but dialogue was not so good some of the time. Mel Gibson did a good job with this role, not acted as frantically as many of his roles in similar films. His daughter is killed on his front porch, and it is assumed that someone was trying to kill him (he is a Boston police detective.) He soon suspects that is not the case. No spoilers here, so you'll just have to go and see for yourself. Rated R, but the violence is not horribly graphic (although I closed my eyes twice just in case:) Language is a small problem, but not enough to make you crazy.
