Pluskylang Great Film overall

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

ronarimes The plot was good and the setting in the Grand Canyon made it atmospheric and visually compelling. At the onset I was dubious about the dated backdrop filming and the corny music score but it was very easy going on the eyes and I enjoyed the film right through to the conclusion.

Leofwine_draca EDGE OF ETERNITY is a nice mix of modern-day crime thriller with classic Western tropes and supporting characters. Action man Cornel Wilde plays a deputy sheriff investigating a string of murders in and around the Grand Canyon, and he soon finds himself on the trail of a man who will stop at nothing to see his schemes come to fruition.Obviously the biggest draw of the movie isn't the cast but the location. Arizona has never looked so good under this film's crisp cinematography, and the Grand Canyon cannot fail to seem rugged and magnificent, lending this film an air of toughness just from its presence alone. Plus we get the direction of Don Siegel, years before he became well known for his Clint Eastwood movies, and his hand is just as assured here.Wilde is merely acceptable as the hero, although his character is not particularly likable. The plotting is a little strained in places with some important moments seeming rushed while other bits drag out (like some romantic-style sub-plots). It's not bad, though, and I love that 1950s colour. The high-rise action climax brings to mind the likes of NIGHTHAWKS. A youthful Jack Elam plays in support.

bkoganbing One of nature's natural wonders the Grand Canyon of Arizona serves as the backdrop to this modern day western where a breakout of three murders occur within a week. They don't seem to be related but of course they are and Deputy Sheriff Cornel Wilde pursues them all with the backing of Sheriff Edgar Buchanan.Wilde and Buchanan have their work cut out for them. The prosecuting attorney is from a different political party which backed a candidate against Wilde in the last election in Mohave County. Wilde's had issues in the past and his conduct of the investigation is used against Buchanan.In all of this it centers around a scheme to steal gold out of a working mine in the Grand Canyon that's owned by Victoria Shaw and her family. Wilde and her get a little romance going and her knowledge of fashion and designer labels is what gives him the clue to crack things open.The last 20 minutes involve the villain taking Victoria Shaw hostage with a nasty fight on a cable car that goes over the canyon between Wilde and the villain. Really well done a harbinger of some of the action stuff that is more prevalent in today's films. All staged and directed with distinction by Don Siegel.Edge Of Eternity is a crackerjack noir mystery set in the modern west, but hardly in a tight urban setting. You can't get more expansive than the Grand Canyon and I saw it about 5 years after Edge Of Eternity was filmed there. Grand doesn't begin to describe it, but this film will give you some idea.

Chris Gaskin I taped Edge of Eternity when Channel 4 screened it some time ago and found it very enjoyable. Some reviews state this as a Western, but it is more of a mystery-thriller than a Western.A Sheriff in Arizona investigates three murders around the Grand Canyon and is help by a woman and not surprisingly they fall in love with each other. The killer then takes the woman hostage and he is caught in the dramatic final showdown in a minor's bucket, high over the Grand Canyon.Edge of Eternity has some magnificent scenery. especially the Grand Canyon scenes.The cast is lead by Cornel Wilde as the Sheriff, Victoria Shaw as his love interest and Micky Shaughnessy. All play good parts.This movie is a must see, just for the scenery. Excellent.Rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.
