BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

adonis98-743-186503 An intellectual billionaire and two lesser men struggle to band together and survive after getting stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with a blood-thirsty Kodiak Bear hunting them down. The Edge for me is the Jaws of good films about Nature and Bears and the fact that they actually brought a real life bear alongside her trainer for this movie it makes it even better. But first let me start with the good first of all Anthony Hopkins in this film is freaking amazing he is a badass and a very smart person that knows how to survive, Alec Baldwin was also really good with a couple of moments where he kinda started over reacting but overall really good performance and honestly he wouldn't even survive the final battle if it wasn't for Hopkins, the locations are very beautiful looking and it seems that they worked the film really well it had great suspense and terror and to me it's even better than the "Silence of the Lambs" and before you go crazy about it both films had 2 great performances by Hopkins so there's that. As for flaws people said that the movie is unrealistic oh yeah because a shark can totally eat a boat right? That was the point for me and the point of the movie it meant to be gritty, dark and violent and it was also the big twist between Baldwin and Hopkins in the end some people will say that it ruined the film in my personal opinion it made it even cooler it showed perfectly the word "friendship" and sacrifice and the last lines are basically just that. Overall 'The Edge' for me is the good Jaws of films about Bears it had a great story, cast and it was very intense to sit threw and it still holds up very well 20 years later!!!

The Couchpotatoes I don't think I ever saw a bad movie with Anthony Hopkins. And if I did I honestly can't remember, and it would for sure not be for Anthony Hopkins' acting because he's just an excellent actor. In The Edge he plays a rich man stranded in the Alaskian wilderness with two lesser smart men (played by Alec Baldwin and Harold Perrineau) and they all try to survive while they search to be rescued. The cold, the lack of food, a bear (played by Bart (that's his name apparently)) are the main difficulties for them to survive. The story is entertaining to follow, with breath taking photography. Just for the nature shots alone it's already worth a watch. Add on that the excellent cast and the good story and you have a good adventure movie.

Python Hyena The Edge (1997): Dir: Lee Tamahori / Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, Elle MacPherson, L.Q. Jones, Harold Perrineau: Exhilarating thriller about the extremes the mind may be driven too if pushed to the limits of sanity. Wealthy Anthony Hopkins joins associates in the snowy mountains. Alec Baldwin plays a photographer who subjects Hopkins wife before they search down a native. After the plane crashes they are hunted by a bear. Directed by Lee Tamahori who previously made Once Were Warriors and Mulholland Falls. He successfully brings out suspense based upon nature. Hopkins plays off intelligence with grace and is able to provide simple solutions to major problems. Baldwin is the opposite and totally relies on others. The real villain of the film is the bear, which is massive and results in a couple of truly terrifying scenes, one of which will resolve the plot problem. The film does have its problems and they are mainly stirred from the misuse of supporting roles. Elle MacPherson as Hopkins's wife is seen as this captivating beauty but the role is a prop not a personality. L.Q. Jones plays a cameraman but ultimately he is is basically there to become fast food for bear. This is a well made film fill of great scenery and an antagonist nightmare of nature. Otherwise the film is about survival in both the physical and mental state. Score: 9 / 10

mircea-1600 The whole movie is plain ridiculous. Mostly because Americans have no idea what smart means. I mean come on, trying to look smart with 12 yo knowledge?Had the young guy been the main character, it could be a romance movie. You can't do that with a rich old fart. It will never be a fatal lover.It can't pass as a drama either. There can't be much drama in guarding a fortune from people as greedy as the owner.Having this movie I skipped all negative reviews from the start, in hope they are wrong. Turns out they had a solid reason. As shown before, this is some adventure movie, with ordinary Hollywood seasoning. Such kind of movies should be made by people who love nature. The people behind this movie were both stupid and arrogant. This is what all this movie is about.
