Mel Gibson is not one to forgive and forget.

Mel Gibson will have his revenge, and not just on Jews for killing Jesus. The anti-Semitic Aussie makes a triumphant return to payback films in his new thriller, Edge of Darkness, playing a Boston homicide detective whose daughter is gunned down in what appears to be an attempt on his life. When he discovers that she had a secret life and that corporate and government agents may have assassinated her to cover up more dirty deeds, he starts putting bullets in motherfuckers. It helps with the grieving process.

Crime and punishment flicks have always been Gibson's best (besides What Women Want, of course). In honor of his return to the genre, and so as to not piss him off, Complex revisits his history of heart-stopping revenge flicks.
