Reviews for The Edge
A riveting story of survival, and the most rousing and gripping outdoor adventure since the original Jaws. One of 1997's very best films.
A few scattered profanities, a couple of gory accidents and a subplot about suspected adultery are all that separates this story from the grade-school classic "My Side of the Mountain."
The Edge, more of a drama than the action/thriller it's being billed as, exhibits a restrained literateness that's quite effective.
A wilderness struggle that will take you to some deep emotional places.
