Casino Royale director Martin Campbell returns with revenge thriller Edge Of Darkness.
Can it find a new audience on Blu-ray?
He uncovers the truth about Northmoor, a nuclear weapons company that employed Emma.
His performance is intense, laced with dark humour and rage.
Winstone is also outstanding as the man tasked with stopping Craven, yet letting him continue his investigation.
Hes cold and calculating, yet human.
Campbells direction is efficient and feels intensely personal, bringing you into the film and the emotions held within.
Boston, as a backdrop, is beautiful and imposing.
Theyre worth watching and, as always, could have been threaded back into the film.
Id have loved more on the comparison with the original series, maybe even the first episode.
Though not everyones cup of tea, a directors commentary would have made a nice addition to this package.
One can dream, I suppose.
On top of this, the richly textured palette of Boston brings vibrancy to the darkness of the film.
The DTS track does seem to have more bass to it, but this might just be my hearing.
All in all,Edge Of Darknessis highly recommended for anyone who likes well written thrillers.
