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.

...The Edge's fusion of Mametspeak with a true life adventure remains brawny entertainment, even it it is difficult to take as seriously as the filmmakers intend.

The Edge, more of a drama than the action/thriller it's being billed as, exhibits a restrained literateness that's quite effective.

Not a great movie by any stretch, but hugely entertaining nonetheless.
