Summary: WOW!
Review: What a great movie. As I looked at the rental wall of new releases, this made my final four. It has fast become one of my all-timers. How the heck did I miss this one at the theatre? Great characters all the way down to the guy who owns the cabin, great story (stories), great scenery, great music, and on..... I now own the soundtrack and am on my way to buy the video itself. Don't miss this one.

Summary: Watch the EDGE, it might just save your life!
Review: The story is rather pessimestic yet the ending is lucidly triumphant. Hopkins, a soft-spoken, bookish billionaire, married to a young, beautiful model(elle macpherson) discovers while stranded in the Alaskan Wild that his wife has been having an affair with a photographer(Baldwin) with whom he needs to get along to survive after their plane crashes. Part of David Mamet's message is that life is bleak. His wife has betrayed his love, other people value him only for his money and what he can do for them. But by the end of the movie, after battling with fate that had brought Hopkins face to face with death and with life's suffering and betrayals- to the "edge" of our existence, Hopkins claims his solitary victory with a triumphant but a subtle smile. When asked by Baldwin what he'll do when he is eventually rescued, Hopkins answers figuratively, "I may not go back." Asked why not, Hopkins answers poignantly, "To what?"

Summary: Anyone See A Good Alec Baldwin Movie Since Malice?
Review: This will more than do! Pitting his slick city photographer against the dignified older millionaire played by Hopkins, The Edge is an edge of your seat thriller.

Summary: The Edge: the ultimate action flick!
Review: This is the classic action movie, pitting Baldwin and Hopkins against eachother in the Alaskan wilderness. There's bears, guns, plain crashes, and of course the always great acting from Hopkins. I give this film a perfect rating because that's what it is...... a perfect action thriller!

Summary: The Edge, keeps you on the edge of your seat!
Review: The Edge is the most breath taking,beautiful and exciting movie I have seen in years! Anthony Hopkins is,as always, perfection in the part of the mild mannered genius & Billionair who becomes a hero during a trek through the wilds after a plane crash leaves him and his companions not only lost, but tracked by a bear who means to kill them at any cost. Beautiful as it is exciting, you must see it!

Summary: Forget the wealth and look hard at the message - The Edge!
Review: It's all about what you focus on. Two extremes are presented - a billionaire who got there the old fashioned way and a want-it-all-the-easy-way (just take it)photographer. Who will face the adversity? Who will survive? Is his adaptability quick and strong enough to save himself? What about the others - will they live, too? Who has the Edge, and what is it? It's a story about living, and how to live. Everything else is background.

Summary: Surprisingly entertaining
Review: I know what you're thinking, "How can a movie be entertaining when it has a title as lame as 'The Edge'?" That's exactly what I thought before I'd read good reviews on it. The plot is relatively simple: A billionaire named Charles (Hopkins) and his beauty-queen wife Micky (MacPherson) head off to Alaska for a photo-op, but Charles winds up being stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with the photographer Bob (Baldwin) and his assistant Stephen (Perrineau). The three men then try to find ways to survive, not just against nature but among their relationships with each other as well. This is an intelligent adventure film with more dialogue than explosions. The whole movie isn't always moving at the pace of a hardcore action flick, but when it does it leaves you biting your nails to the roots. One of my favorite scenes is right in the beginning, where you are freaked out one moment and then breathe a sigh of relief the next. The survival sequences are a lot of fun, and Hopkins delivers a great performance. And the scenery is staggeringly beautiful! There are a few problems with this film, however. Elle MacPherson may be pretty, but she doesn't act very well. Also, once in a while, the dialogue makes a vain attempt to be intelligent and winds up just being vague (like the final line of the film). Finally, the relationship between the men gets a little illogical after the film's pinnacle of excitement (more than halfway through the film). Nevertheless, the film is quite good, and it's worthy of more than one viewing. Show it to your friends, they may be surprised at how exciting it actually is! Final note: The R-rating is there because of the violence and profanity. The profanity never gets unreasonable; after all, it's pretty stressful to be lost in the Alaskan wilderness with nothing to eat. The violence, however, involves intense adventure action and occasionally gets quite bloody. It might be best if kids under 12 don't watch this film.

Summary: THIS IS NOT ANAMORPHIC OR ENHANCED FOR WS TV
Review: How unfortunate that this movie was released on DVD by one of only several studios that refused initially to accept the anamorphic format.
What this means, is that if you own a 16x9 television, you will not only have the black bars on the top and bottom, but on the sides as well. If you use the ZOOM feature of your 16x9 tv, it fills the screen, but it pixilates and degrades the video terribly. So you'll end up watching it in full letterbox hell.
Don't buy this, until they do the right thing and re-release it in anamorphic widescreen. After all, they DID release it in anamorphic widescreen in EUROPE. [...]
Good viewing, everyone.
