I don’t even care, man. I’m frickin’ excited for this. Can you believe when Edge of Darkness (what a manly title!) comes out, it will have been eight years since Mel Gibson graced the big screen with his leading role machismo? It also has Ray Winstone and Danny Huston – and lots of guns and revenge and death directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye). Could they make a more masculine, testosterone-fueled movie if they tried? Man! I can’t wait. I’ll be leaving the womens home for this one on opening night. Sorry ladies, dudes only on opening weekend and hopefully a lot of high fives throughout.

Really though, I’m serious. If you don’t want to see this, how can you even call yourself a man? Wuss.

January 29, 2010 is kind of a lame release date, isn’t it?

  2. …And the trend of constantly condensing and american-ifying BBC Miniseries continues (See also, State of Play, Traffick, Pride & Prejudice (although that one can be argued to be two different adaptations of the Austin novel…))

  3. Think it’ll be better than Taken?
    You know Gibson was fumed about missing that chance at the Daddy-Hero role.

    I don’t think that really matters when it comes to this movie, the only reason anyone is going to want to see it is to see Gibson in a new Action movie.

  5. Forget Gibson. I’m all about Ray Winstone and Danny Huston. I think even my dad will see this.

  6. No way is my dad going to miss opening night of this one.

  7. This isn’t the Mel Gibson adults want to see.

  8. Please Henrik, elaborate, because I think this is exactly the Mel Gibson adults want to see, thus the snarky post. He’s a grown up Martin Riggs meets Porter from Payback.

  9. I wanna see this yesterday. When I was drunk on Jack Daniels and eating beef jerky.

    Kick ass.

  10. Mel Gibson can actually act. The faux badass parts like this one are the worst possible thing for him to get back to.
