Ah, Edison (also known as Edison Force in some locals around the world, bizarrely). It's the blandest, most forgettable farce of a film ever made. It's not even that bad (but it is, oh so bad), it's just so typical of the b-side fodder that plagued movie making in the eighties and nineties. Apparently, the horrible trend continued into the noughties as well. The film resembles the outcome of a group of movie executives playing Mad Libs. They just named four random celebrities, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, Justin Timberlake and... LL Cool J. Now they've named a movie trope, ah it's corrupt cops. Throw in the now standard redemption story of a jaded reporter and a fresh faced journalist trying to prove something to everyone, and now lots of gun fights. It's a match made in Heaven. Except, it isn't. Plot lines are started and immediately dropped, never to be seen again. Characters are introduced to great fanfare and then promptly disappear. Kevin Spacey doesn't have a character, he's just mildly annoyed Kevin Spacey! The entire film is quite easily the worst thing Justin Timberlake and LL Cool J have been involved with, and they've done some real rubbish in their time. But for Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman? This is the film that keeps them up at night, shivering and sweating in the darkness... regretting, praying that the film was a horrible fever dream that actually never happened. Sadly, it did happen. And Kevin Spacey will never, ever forget that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpMbACQiqaE So there we have it. A glance back at the past of one of the most storied and respected actors in the world. Nobody can avoid having a few turkeys in the chicken pen, and Spacey doesn't get off scot-free.
