Recalling those golden days of the Golan Globus era, "Edison" is a star-studded dud of a B-picture populated with corrupt politicians, rogue psycho cops, noble newspaper reporters and enough posturing to start up a chiropractic clinic. Coming after the screenings of so many high-profile, awards-season contenders, it would seem like an odd choice, but given a cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, LL Cool J, Dylan McDermott, Cary Elwes and a nonsinging, nondancing Justin Timberlake in his feature acting debut, it probably made perfect sense to the party planners. For most everyone else, this Millennium Films presentation's domestic best bet likely will be as a DVD rental, though those big names alone will ensure international interest.
