Taken or edge of darkness ? - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Weirded Wonder · 07-04-2010, 02:21 PM

I think my favorite quote from Edge of Darkness is, “I am going to come and burn the f**king house down… but you will blow me first.”

Taken, definitely. Very good movie, one of, if not the best action movies from last year. I say Edge of Darkness is worthy of a rental though.

DuaneB · 07-04-2010, 05:01 PM

Taken was definitely the better movie. Edge of Darkness was all right, but I was expecting so much more out of it. I was led to believe it was more like Payback, but it was actually pretty slow whereas Taken was just ninety minutes of Liam Neeson kicking ass and killing people. Having said that Edge of Darkness did have on WTF moment that actually made me jump and hit the rewind button to watch it again.

I saw Taken twice in theaters and think it has great replay value, even though I never bought it.

I never saw Edge of Darkness because it didn't look too great and I really dislike Mel Gibson, he used to make good stuff, but he now is just a nasty human being...

Taken gets my vote. Including, Liam Neeson is an incredible actor.

I liked Edge of Darkness, but Taken wins by a landslide.

Chaotic · 07-04-2010, 07:13 PM

Taken

Darkness was too slow and boring.

Canada · 07-04-2010, 07:16 PM

I would say Edge of Darkness

Really? Mine was definitely "I'm the guy with nothing to lose... but you will blow me first."

There are no words to explain Taken

Another vote for Taken.

holdfasthope · 07-05-2010, 12:40 AM

My favorite line from Taken was definitely "I don't know who you are, but if you don't let my daughter go I will find you and I will kill you... but you will blow me first."

SideEffect34 · 07-05-2010, 12:45 AM

Taken. Love that movie.

Lt. Aldo Raine · 07-05-2010, 02:13 AM

taken was a action powerhouse

i just bought edge of darkness, so i cant compare until i watch it
but i dont think it will beat taken, GREAT FLICK!

TitansFan4Life · 07-06-2010, 12:06 AM

I lol'd when I read the thread title.

Taken is one of the better movies released in the past year or so. Most people have never heard of Edge of Darkness.

Taken is miles ahead of Edge of Darkness, however, unlike most people, I was still fairly entertained by Edge of Darkness.

MaCruz · 07-06-2010, 01:03 AM

Get Taken!!

I think I might pop it in now that you mentioned it!

singhcr · 07-06-2010, 01:28 AM

Edge of Darkness is OK for Mel's acting and the great cinematography. It's actually pretty faithful to the BBC miniseries but the TV show is much, much better in terms of mood and story development.

However, Taken is by far the better film.
