In the last 8 years since “Signs”, Mel Gibson has been busy making  tabloid headlines  but now he’s back as we love him- showing he still has lethal weapon  acting  skills at 54. If anything, Gibson has improved with age.  When  this widower Boston cop  watches his only child, a 24 year old  daughter gunned down on his porch, he goes gonzo  trying to nail her killers.  Gibson is  most impressive as an absolutely heartbreaking , grieving, loving dad.

While the corporate conspiracy theory is far-fetched, and the plot line goes all twisty and hard to follow sometimes,  just go  for the ride.  It’s a bumpy, surprising one.  You’ll never be bored!  Welcome back Mel!!
