| tonymedley.comTony MedleyEven though Gibson gives a fine performance, this film succeeds because of Director Martin Campbell, who keeps the pace up and the tension rising. |
| Seattle TimesTed FryThis crisp, gripping drama of brutal criminal intrigue and sinister moral violence is smart and absorbing in its every nuance, and Gibson dominates the elaborate action with an assured performance that's as authoritative as it is affecting. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonWith Clint Eastwood seemingly retiring from the acting game, it's good to still have at least one aging, scowling badass who isn't afraid to unleash the righteous thunder |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...the 1985 miniseries stands up just fine twenty-five years later. The feature film version will be forgotten in twenty-five days. |
| The AtlanticEd KochThe acting, with the exception of Bojana Novakovic, adds nothing to the trite plot. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansA thoughtful and harrowing drama about the lengths people will go to survive - and the changes of heart that one person undergoes to help them. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickIn a film of unimpressionable characters, and vacant plots, Edge of Darkness is forgettable, dry and at times boring. |
| Seanax.comSean Axmaker... recalls contemporary American crime fiction as much as British conspiracy thriller, and at its best it's a piece of blunt force drama... |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffEdge of Darkness is at its core a story about a man grieving from an inconsolable loss. This doesn't ground just the film, it grounds Gibson's performance, which is among the best in his career. Possibly the best. |
| Ultra CultureCharlie LyneThere are plenty of tense, even powerful moments, but they're surrounded by so much talky bullshit, illogical plotting and mumbly dialogue that they quickly lose all meaning. |
