Read More This is one of my favorite movies of all time because of the suspense, survival scenes, and scenery. If you are an Anthony Hopkins and/or Alec Baldwin fan, definitely see this one. A great movie to see if you are in a cabin because of the remote location and edge-of-your-seat suspense! GREAT cast! Enjoy! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More In The Edge Anthony Hopkins gives a riveting performance as Charles Morse, a billionaire who distrusts everyone and has armored himself against attack. He accompanies his beautiful wife (Elle MacPherson), a supermodel, on a trip to the Alaskan wilderness for a shoot. He's convinced that Robert Green (Alec Baldwin), a witty fashion photographer, is having an affair with her. At the lodge, the owner warns the guests to be on the alert for man-eating Kodiac bears. When the plane carrying Morse, Green, and his assistant (Harold Perrineau) on an excursion crashes in the wilderness, these city slickers are challenged to find a way to survive. They must face rain, snow, and a bear that is stalking them. This egghead, who has lived in luxury and hidden out in books, is forced to tap inner resources of willpower, hope, and courage. And when he finally squares off against his demon of distrust, the results are surprising. The Edge will take you to some deep emotional places. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

AND MARTIN M.) (below) WERE WATCHING AND EXPECTING BUT IF YOU WANT SUSPENSE AND GOOD ACTING, SEE THIS FILM. I DO NOT THINK YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. I AM NOT AN ALEC BALDWIN FAN, BUT I MUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. HE DID A GOOD JOB. NEEDLESS TO SAY, ANTHONY HOPKINS ALWAYS COMES THROUGH AS GREAT. p.s.(the actress who played the "trophy wife" should have been allowed to phone her performance in.)

Read More For all the talent in 'The Edge' (Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin) I have to say I was more then a little bit disappointed with it. It's not really a bad film, it just never resembles anything remotely original. Anthony Hopkins is good as always playing a powerful yet kind millionare stranded in the woods with his wife's photographer played by Alec Baldwin (who I felt really phoned in his performance). Also stranded with them is Baldwin's assistant played nicely by the funny Harold Perrineau. The three have to fight to stay alive while they look for a way out. There's some action, but not much. The film usually relies on the powerful emotional drama that because of the poor writing is few and far between. 'The Edge' makes for a so-so way to kill two hours.
