...Boston cop trying to find his daughter's killers, tells somebody it's the moment of truth. "You had better decide," he says, "whether you're hangin' on the cross or bangin' in the nails." Ouch. It's a reminder that Gibson, the movie star, is also Gibson, the director of the polarizing religious epic The Passion of the Christ, in which his one onscreen appearance showed him driving the first nail into Jesus' palm...
