Max Payne style movie : Edge of Darkness

Hey there,

I was poking around the net and found this trailer for Mel Gibson's upcoming movie Edge of Darkness.

Synopsis: Mel Gibson stars as Thomas Craven, a man who has spent years as a detective in Boston. When his own daughter is killed near the door of his home, Craven realizes that her death is only one piece of a puzzle filled with corruption and conspiracy, and it falls to him to discover who is behind the crime. Written by Oscar-winner William Monahan (THE DEPARTED)

Click the link and listen to his last line in the trailer. Some one has been playing Max Payne . Hell, it'll probably be better than the official Max Payne movie.

I found out that this movie is based on a BBC mini series made in 1985. Maybe this was also an inspiration for Max Payne? Has anyone seen this series?

This movie looks AWESOME! Thanks for the link.

Yeah, lots of similarities to Max Payne story wise. Don't know how the last lines relate to Max Payne though. I couldn'tfigure out what the guy was saying after:

"Because I'm usually the guy who stops the _______________."

No, not what Mel Gibson says, the other guy, when thery're sitting on the park bench. He says the same thing in the scene just before that.

he says something like, "You were never the type that could connect A to B." "How do you know that?" "Because I'm usually the guy who stops you from connecting A to B."
