May 15, 2008This film had a lot of potential but in my opinion failed to deliver what could have been a great plot. A waste of two great actors; Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman, disappointingly watchable

May 1, 2008It was just called 'Edison' in Australia, and this crime thriller was sure worth seeing. I think this must have been Justin Timberlake's debut film, and it definitely came out in style with an all-star cast and a fast paced story.
This shows the corruption of of a journalist, ...( read more) -

June 21, 2007An ok action/drama film as a young reporter discovers a possible cover-up by a group of police officers. Which puts his own life in danger. There are better examples of this type of film around though.

May 30, 2009Wow. I do not think I have ever seen a movie with so many great actors that had such a pivotal role so miscast. Justin Timberlake is perhaps the single worst actor to land a bigtime role in a movie with the star power and money behind it that Edison had.
His acting was PAINFUL...( read more) -

October 6, 2006I'm just wondering, with an all-star award-winning cast, it is destined to be a box-office movie. But it didn't happen? It is released cinemawide or did it went straight to video?

July 13, 2006A very complicated story. A crime thriller with action and drama. Where you could see the abuse of power, politics, drugs, journalism, corruption and other social problems in a super hero kinda way. Yes, this great cast were like villains and super heroes in a Batman or Superman movie but without a diguise.
The movie fails badly sometimes like in sound, editing and orther stuff. But i give 5 stars because of the grear cast, like 9 people that will blow up your mind, great treatted conflict in the story where every single character got something to do about it and about their decisions, each actor fits physically great, it has a great fight bettween LL Cool J. and Dylan Mc Dermott that looks so real, and of course that neither close to my wildest dreams i've could imagine in the same sequence outside in a car the great Academy Award winners Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman aguing while waiting for Grammy Winners (that made history their own) Justin Timberlake and LL Cool J. talking while a slow tempo up beat rap is sounding in the back. Oh that was f#@$^ng fantastic.
