Edge of Darkness: Upcoming Movie Trailer

I'm posting this trailer mainly because I'm really getting sick of these all these revenge type murder movies that seem to be coming out.

I just don't get why people seem to really dig these movies where the main characters loved ones (usually women) get killed in the beginning and the rest of the film is is the main character hunting down those who hurt his loved one.  I find the entire thing to be kind of gross and a poor use of our cinematic time. I know that there is a tradition of these films but I don't know why there seems to be a trend of them today?

I guess I am just sick of gratuitous violence in general.

What do you think? Am I just being lame, are these movies cool?

Or are they, like I think they are, overly violent without purpose?
