Edge of Darkness (2010)

Action, Crime, Drama

Edge of Darkness is conspiracy action thriller film directed by Martin Campbell, written by William Monahan and Andrew Bovell, and starring Mel Gibson. A British-American co-production, it is based on the 1985 BBC television series of the same name, which was likewise directed by Campbell.

When the only daughter of veteran homicide detective Thomas Craven (Gibson) is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. Suspecting otherwise, Craven embarks on a solitary investigation where his search uncovers not only her secret life, but a world of corporate cover-ups and government collusion. A shadowy government operative (Winstone) has been tasked with cleaning up the evidence and as the explosive truth is revealed, Craven becomes a man on a mission for revenge with nothing to lose.
