Edison aka Edison Force
2005
Thriller
Morgan Freeman, LL Cool J, Justin Timberlake, Kevin Spacey, Dylan McDermott, John Heard, Cary Elwes... one would think with a cast of (B) movie actors, Edison will have something going for it as a film. Timberlake appears to be the wrong fit as a reporter investigating police corruption, Kevin Spacey has a dodgy - looking hairstyle, although the performances themselves aren't formidable for a so-called crime thriller that deals in a serious subject matter (John Heard overacting in the last third scene). F.R.A.T seems to be a play on S.W.A.T. Directed by a TV producer (with credits in Law and Order, Seaquest DSV), this is a straight to DVD flick all-round, borrowing heavily from Training Day, but felt like an episode of Law and Order with dull filler and very little good action & suspense to get behind. As it dragged I can see why it didn't get a theatrical release: I had a hard time getting around to liking Edison; sluggish viewing, a sluggish story which as it droned on, made little sense, it had nothing.
Is It Worth Watching?:
