This weekend sees the worldwide release of Mel Gibson’s return to the acting foray after eight years of getting pissed, falling off the wagon, getting back on the wagon, falling off it again, directing one brilliant film (Apocalyto), partying like it’s 1999, getting arrested and ranting about Jews and calling a female police officer “sugar tits”. That last episode saw humiliation doled out on a global scale.
Edge of Darkness, a thriller designed to remind the world why we all loved the actor in the first place despite his dodgy views, is hoping knock Avatar off its bloody perch. James Cameron sci-fi actioner is officially the best film of all time, but will Gibbo stop its global dominance by putting it down to Number 2 on the box office charts? Place ya bets!
The film is no doubt designed for the older audience, especially those with fond memories of the Mad Max movies and the Lethal Weapon series. In the film, Gibson plays a Boston detective investigating his daughter’s death and taking revenge on the bastards that did it. It is based on a BBC drama series from the 1980s and directed by Casino Royale’s Martin Campbell (who also directed the tv series). All eyes will be on the opening figures this weekend to see how well Mel does. Oh, and did we mention Avatar is the biggest grossing film of all time?
