Great movie for adults, not a good movie for kids!!!
Not for kids 17 or younger. A very good adult movie. Mel Gibson does a great job and I was interested all the way till the very end. Strong language, violent, and has both postive and negative messages.

Grim thriller too violent and intense for kids
This is a very violent, very dark, yet well-made thriller. My only problem with it as it didn't seem epic enough for Mel Gibson's comeback. Parents: This is a very violent and dark movie with shocking, sudden acts of very bloody violence. This is no happy tale. There's also language. Bottom Line: In the end, you don't really feel satisfied, or that happy, but you may be able to think back and appreciate some really well shot scenes. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

This was a terrific movie. There are about 42 F words and many other cuss words in the movie. This is not for children at all, no way. It is only for adults who like Mel Gibson or the story behind it.

kinda slow but good and suspensful
this was a good movie and mel gibson is a great actor but the movie is a little slow. althou the movie does have some suspensful moments and the ending is great. althou it has some very bloody gunshots that may be too much for a little kid to handle. but mel gibson is a great role model hunting down his daughters killers when they poisend and shot her on his front step right while he was standing there. so its a good movie.

Good in a "Silkwood" sort of way
I guess it depends on what message you mean when you rate this positive or negative. A law enforcement officer going vigilante to avenge the death of his daughter... not a good message. Standing up for what you believe in, no matter what, even if it seems hopeless that you will win... good message. I was pleased with the ending, but won't give it away. Yes, it was quite violent. But it was good in a "Silkwood" sort of way. If your teen is interested in activism, watch it with them.

not for kids.
edge of darkness is a thriller movie only for adults and parents you need to know that this movie is so disturbing and too much for your kids the violence is so intense that they even show mel gibson daughter emma being shot with a shotgun at close range they even show dead bodies floating in the water in the beginning of the movie and also show disturbing photographs of still more dead bodies and a girl run over by a car with strong force that she is sent flying across the street characters use constant strong language throughout the movie some characters drink wine and a six-pack of beer.

I enjoyed the movie, It was very suspenseful but there were some concerns, the language is adult potty language and the message isn't really positive because they show her die in the opening scene. Her father is a good role model becaue it shows you that, a father will do anything for his daughter, but it also shows you physical violence is okay when in truth it's not. This movie should only be viewed by 17 and up. Anyone under shouldn't really be watching it, but overall its an okay/good movie.

Graphic revenge thriller not harmful for teens.
Personally, I didn't think this film was anything too special. That being said, it's well acted and has some good drama.
