“Edge of Darkness” adapts from a short TV play which made by BBC in 1985.Mel Gibson plays an honest police officer in the film. after his radical daughter is murdered, he begins to investigate the background of official corruption.As Gibson himself is a fan of that TV show, he took the initiative to scramble the role and made it.

“Edge of Darkness”, which includes the director of “Casino Royale” and “The Golden Eye” Martin Campbell, is screened by Gibson`s own financing. What is more, Campbell also takes the role of producer and director in this film.The movie`s script is written by William Monaghan who won award for Best Adapted Screenplay by “The Departed” the previous year.
