source: Edison

it had awesome cast and when they had the scene with pollack(Timberlake ) push that thing and the guy went splat it was so cool. And LL cool J when he had the fire torch and did that too guys it was awesome. Their was good acting and it was a popcorn movie. It had really good seens I think Justin did well in his acting. It had great action good soundtrack their are many more of these. It was action life. It also had good story too it . its about a reporter thought it was odd a guy say Thank you so he went to them so he went and he ended up in dangerous so he wrote his story it is really good in my opinion it was exciting and many many more.

Oh please... the worst movie ever?? Not even close. Any movie with Spacey and Freeman can't be all that bad. McDermott was actually pretty good. His 'bad boy cop' routine worked and LL Cool Jay was even OK as his partner. Nothing special but come on. Worst movie? You obviously don't see that many! Bad cops vs cub reporter / aging veteran reporter. Not the most original story but there were enough action scenes to keep me interested and with the exception of Timberlake, the acting was good and the directing was quick and clean. The worst part of the movie was Spaceys wig.

The movie started off strong, LL Cool J (Deed) as an undercover police officer, with partner Sgt. Lazerov (Dylan McDermott from the Practice, possibly miscast as a bad guy?) committing robbery and murder. Deed refuses to kill the drug dealer, which sets up the conflict of a dirty cop with a conscience. The other big names (Freeman, Spacey et al) are well cast and the movie shows promise. The movie begins to fall short as soon as Justin Timberlake (Pollack) is introduced. Given the opportunity to make a good movie that people will possibly see repeatedly, or one that teenage girls will go and see the once because of Timberlake, I would choose the former. Even talented actors have to work hard at their craft; Timberlake is NOT talented and no amount of hard work can save him. I would have thought he would put on a better show, given the fact that he has been acting talented for years. Everything he did in this film was unconvincing. Just because a singer sells millions of records and sells out stadiums, it does not automatically translate that they can act successfully in feature films. Even hardcore N'Sync fans will not be able to ignore the obvious lack of acting talent. That aside there are a few plot holes, such as Pollack's sudden sniper ability and deadly operation of warehouse machinery. This movie had so much promise. Thoroughly disappointing.

Edison starts out as a good,solid action thriller. The story builds up pretty nice, even Justin Timberlake surprises with his acting. But as the movie move's on it turns into a normal average action flick, flamethrowers included. A pity when you consider the star packed cast(Kevin spacey, Morgan freeman, ll cool j). The violence is hard and real, especially when the journalist and his girlfriend are being beat up. But turns overdone at the end of the movie, with big shootouts and trunks full of army stock. overall i've came to this conclusion, Edison: an average movie that could be so much more.... i give it 5 out of 10.... m.w.

It's a pity that Timberlake's "acting" contributed largely in ruining a film based on a good story and decent performances by Freeman, Spacey and LL Cool J, who seemed to do their best in order to balance Justin's exercise in futility! To include Justin in the cast apparently means that: (a) He has paid large sums to the production budget-holder/director/etc. (b) He is the director's cousin (c) He constitutes a hubris to other well-respected members of the cast (d) All of the above To cut a long story short: Nothing you can't wait for until the DVD comes out.....

its a real story with some action... it was an OK movie and acting was OK too except the singer...its a real story with some action... it was its a real story with some action... it was an OK movie and acting was OK too except the singer... its a real story with some action... it was an OK movie and acting was OK too except the singer... its a real story with some action... it was an OK movie and acting was OK too except the singer... its a real story with some action... it was an OK movie and acting was OK too except the singer... its a real story with some action... it was an OK movie and acting was OK too except the singer... its a real story with some action... it was an OK movie and acting was OK too except the singer... ...

So cops are dirty but some are good. Old good reporters come back to help young keen ones. There is corruption ripe in every company that tries to clean the filth off the streets. The only way to clean up America is to create a fascist state to clean the scum off the face of the earth. No problem there, but when they start knocking off good clean cut kids well we gotta problem there amigo. It starts off pretty good with the best character, the bad cop, Dylan Mc Dermott (excellent) giving the movies drive and momentum and ends with the worst shoot up scene in the world, where an elite cop squad gets wiped out by one of their own...Sad really...Kevin Spacey is not given enough screen time...Justin Timberlake is a surprise. Morgan Freeman always a classic.The movie is NOT a classic, starts with a bang and end with a splutter. Worth seeing for the first hour only.

LL Cool J performed much better in this movie that I expected! He did a fabulous job acting as a "renegade" cop within a "renegade" department. From the very beginning, he does a great job of building viewer empathy for his character and the predicament he's in. He acts as a sort of "gentle giant" -- a person whose rough exterior can scare anybody, yet whose heart is clearly in the right place from the very start -- and he does an amazing job. He was quite clearly the best character in the movie. This was certainly a performance that will not win Morgan Freeman any awards. After starring in powerhouse films like the Shawshank Redemption this film was certainly a step down. His role in Edison simply did not allow him to show his true talents as an actor -- and in terms of the conglomeration of characters placed him sadly on a back burner. There are so many ways his character (Moses Ashford) could have taken a more pivotal role. That he didn't was disappointing and a true let-down. I was hoping to see more from him in this film. Timberlake ought to have stayed in the music industry. His portrayal of a young journalist was poorly acted and unpersuasive. This movie is a typical action movie that (at least initially) bears some resemblance to corrupt police affairs LA has experienced in the past. Being an action movie, it has its share of shoot-em-up scenes, blood, and guts. These scenes are typically unrealistic and painfully predictable. Watching the beginning of the movie there is very little suspense as to what will happen at the end -- think of what you would typically expect in a good-cops/bad-cops conflict -- and it bears little resemblance to a REAL police shoot-out. What irked me most was the way Timberlake's character behaved during shoot-out scenes. He starts out having guns and not using them. Then when he finally gets around to using one he fires it as if he's been firing a gun his whole life. Then he runs out of bullets and doesn't have a gun -- and 30 seconds later, without moving or anything -- suddenly has 2 more fully loaded guns AND extra ammo?! Little plot errors like this really ruined the movie for me. If what you are looking for is a blatantly fictional plot in a fantasy world where everything turns out okay, then you'll probably love this movie. Personally, it doesn't matter to me what KIND of movie it is as long as it is realistic. Make me believe that the story is true. This story was so obviously fictional in so many aspects that I came away feeling unsatisfied.
