On the Edge captures the runner's life with a blend of images, music, and point-of-view photography which creates a rhythm not unlike a runner's pace.

The real story is in Wes's mind, not on the trail, and frankly we spend to much time out there -- even if it is a sports movie at heart.

On the Edge may have a familiar formula, but it is an angry, original, unpredictable movie.
