recommend afew glasses no bottles of wine before viewing..

A Customer from uk, 31st January, 2007

I dont know where to start really ..it was utter tripe. The biggest surprise was Justin Timberlake, he was quite convincing , not a bad actor really. if this was his first ever movie then he has a legit excuse ..as for Morgan Freeman .. well he hasnt he was just as bad as L L cool j. If a film has morgan freeman in i usually see who he is co-staring.. i think he is over rated personnally. Dont get me wrong he has done afew good films ..shawshank/ bruce almighty etc. As for dylan mc wots his face well just what i expected from him.. the whole film came across as lazy script , predictable ,made me cringe seeing morgan freeman dance lol .. ll cool j went to same 'old school' of acting as Ice T ..yep so if u are easily pleased and want to kill 90 mins then this is for you. Oh i forgot to mention Kevin Spacey .. well if you look past the boot polished wig he has on then you can see he is well over rated as an actor too ...still like him American Beauty /Usual suspects, but K-pax?? .. If u want to watch a better movie about crooked cops ..and still have a rapper/some1 from the music business etc then rent out ..Narc (2002): Jason Patric, Ray Liotta, Busta Rhymes .. thats alot better than Edison.

Good Evening's Viewing

A Customer from Yorkshire, 31st July, 2006

Crooked cops and politicians against good cop, journalist, and investigator! Predictable story, easy to work out the plot, but well shot and acted. An enjoyable 99 minutes. Justin Timberlake was better than expected.

Sneaked it into 4 stars with 7/10.

Graham from UK, 23rd October, 2007

I guess when reviewing a movie much of your rating comes from expectations, here, despite a few big names, we expected nothing more than a reasonably paced action thriller with hopefully a few twists to keep you guessing, and that’s pretty much what we got. Ok so the twists were for the most part quite weak but just about enough to keep the movie interesting, especially the first main twist which caught me out! (Few glasses of wine had been consumed) The acting was reasonable including that of Mr Timberlake who held his own nicely. The script was mostly basic yet enjoyable all the same. Timberlake plays a small time reporter who upsets the wrong people whilst investigating a special police units actions, its simple but in this genre effective. Edison ticks along nicely and kept us watching, a few elements are frustrating and the ending fails to deliver much in the way of an exciting climax however we could not say we did not enjoy. If you are looking for a complicated and intelligent thriller then this is probably not for you but for a run of the mill action adventure with a few interesting ideas and a half decent acting debut from a pop star then you could well enjoy. We have sneaked it into 4 stars with 7/10.

AVOID

A Customer from Hollywood, 6th March, 2007

I was lured into renting this film by the trailer which appeared very promising with an all star line up. However, the plot is ridiculous, acting atrocious and the action scenes are crammed into the last 5 minutes which are pretty rubbish to be honest. I dont think the performances of Spacey or Freeman can be criticised as they are obviously legends, I'm just amazed they signed up to film this tripe.

What a load of rubbish!

Matt from Stubbington, 18th February, 2010

Justin Timberlake trying to play the role of a journalist - absolutely useless, he should have stuck with Brittany! Even Morgan Freeman doesn't match his usual suberb performance. In short, very disappointed with this film.

Disappointed

A Customer from St. Albans, 10th October, 2009

Not great, my family thought it was no good either. In actual fact I fell asleep and I know it was Justin Timberlake'e earliest film (i think) but you could tell by his acting. Not great..
