The Edge (1997)


Genre: Thriller
Directed by: Lee Tamahori
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, Elle Macpherson
Running time: 117 minutes



Billionaire Charles Morse is involved in a plane crash, with photographer Bob Green and his assistant Stephen. The three men find themselves stranded in a remote area of Alaska. As they fight their way back to civilization, dealing with the elements and a very dangerous bear, underlying tensions between Charles and Bob are bound to be the most dangerous thing to contend with.

This is a pretty good survival thriller. The storyline is compelling and the action is fast-paced, though in does not go overboard in that regard. The acting was decent, though I found Baldwin a little weak here, compared to Hopkins. I love a good story where a man survives thanks to brain over brawn, and this is the case here, though I found the ending a little lackluster.
