As a result, many of them have turned to using drugs and committing crimes. And Carl, a young, decent, but impressionable teen, is about to fall under these influences, guided by his older "friend" Richie. Will Carl allow himself to become another one of New Grenada's aimless, rebellious youth? Or will he realize what a poor example Richie and his friends are? [More]

Reviews for Over the Edge
Jonathan Kaplan's engaging exploitation nightmarish generation gap film is effective and honest.
If you were born around the same time as Matt Dillon, this period piece will amaze you with its attention to detail
