Boston police officer Thomas Craven's engineer daughter is gunned down on a visit home and, as he investigates, he is dragged into a web of corporate and government conspiracy.
We don't have a genre for poor Hollywood remakes of great foreign stuff - perhaps we should - and I strongly recommend that you watch instead the quality 1985 BBC mini-series of the same name from which this detective thriller is adapted. Nevertheless 'Edge of Darkness' the remake works efficiently enough. find out more...

A powerful thriller with an ingenious plot that leaves you piecing it together well after the end. Tom Farrell wins a plum job in the Pentagon only to find himself investigating a murder to which he was a witness and is a potential suspect. His mission becomes a quicksand of double bluffs, concealments, and attempts to sabotage the clues in order to avoid the Pentagon fingering him for the crime.
