The Edge

It’s 23 years old. I’ll give you $5 bucks for it. Let’s make a deal.

An okay film. Apple included a huge spoiler in the description (who trains the people who write these descriptions?).

I can't think of a more impactful movie for keeping you on the edge of your seat! This movie brings it. The bear is down-right scary in this movie. You will be affraid of bears and forest after this. Intense movie! Great.

Personally, I think The Edge is a vastly underrated film. It came out in a very competitive year for film (Titanic, Good Will Hunting etc). So, maybe it got lost among all those. The opening credits alone are stunning. The cinematography and Jerry Goldsmith’s epic score are among the best and most memorable of the decade. It makes you feel like you are really there on that journey. The score and scenery both become characters in the film. Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin play off each other so well as opposites, (they give two of their best performances that no one knows about), however, Bart the Bear is the one who really shines. If an Oscar could ever go to an animal, look no further than this performance, I’m not kidding. No digital Revenant here. Bart the Bear along with the actors do all their action sequences in camera for real. It’s amazing that there was nothing digital or rendered as the bear attacks are thrilling and terrifying. As to any issues with the film, I would admittedly say that there are a few spots of bad or cheesy writing, but it’s quickly covered up by good acting and an entertaining survival story. The ending is up for debate, no spoilers but I love it for many reasons. If you don’t end up loving the film itself, it’s hard to at least not admire the great scenery, score and performances, which I believe is more than worth the watch.

This line has stuck with me since I watched this as a kid. Great film.

This is one of the most underrated movies out there and has somewhat of a cult following by outdoorsy types. Seriously, I’ve watched this movie at least 30 times. Hopkins and Baldwin together create such tension and balance against the incredible wilderness landscape of Alaska.

I got the movie from my local library. I enjoy stories and movies about survival. It was a good movie, but why did the only black character have to die?!🤔

This complex survival drama features great overall acting, and Cinematography that rivals Jeremiah Johnson. The only other time I’ve felt so much empathy for a character was James Caan as Paul Sheldon in the movie Misery.

This is a great movie for people that like the no-technology, living on the wilderness type drama. However, I have been looking for the soundtrack to be available on ITunes. Beautiful music by none other than the late Jerry Goldsmith.

I was not expecting this movie to be as good as it was. I highly recommend it. Loved Anthony Hopkins character! Shows you what will and determination can achieve. If you haven't seen this movie don't hesitate any longer!
