This is a wonderful film that will keep the viewer totally absorbed. Written by the tremendously talented David Mamet (The House of Games, Oleanna), it is beautifully directed by the noted director Lee Tamahori (Once Were Warriors, Along Came a Spider). The film is a complex, fully fleshed story covering many themes, fully realized by a stellar cast. It also provides the viewer with breathtaking cinematography, as well as a compelling score written by Academy Award winner Jerry Goldsmith (The Omen). The film focuses an a mild mannered, self-effacing, slightly paranoid billionaire, Charles Morse (Anthony Hopkins). A brilliant and well-read man with a penchant for esoteric knowledge, Morse is married to Mickey (Elle MacPherson), a young and beautiful, successful model. On location with her in a remote area of Alaska, she is surrounded by her young, fun loving camera crew, while he is seemingly the odd man out. He is astute enough, however, to sense that there are romantic undercurrents between his wife and her photographer, Robert Green (Alec Baldwin). When Morse accompanies Robert on what was to be a short excursion into the Alaskan wilderness, looking for a local hunter to pose in the photo shoot, disaster looms ahead, and the test for the survival of the fittest begins. It is here that the superior mind and knowledge of Morse is put to the test, as they find themselves pitted against nature. Morse rises to the occasion, emerging as a natural leader, while his younger, fitter rival, Robert, is often at a loss as to how to cope in their peculiar situation. It is also through the emerging and changing conditions that they face, that their respective characters emerge. It is in the wilderness that they are both unmasked and emerge as their true selves. This is a film that will keep the viewer enthralled. Anthony Hopkins has never been better as the quietly heroic Morse, and Alec Baldwin is excellent as the craven and duplicitous photographer who has cuckolded him. Elle MacPherson is luminous as the beautiful, young, trophy wife. The rest of the supporting cast, including the giant Kodiac bear, are also terrific. This is a superlative survival story that has something for everyone. Excellent!Vollständige Rezension lesen
A very suspensful and gripping adventure set in the Canadian wilderness involving Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin who crashland their plane and have to learn how to survive in this savage terrain.They find they are being stalked by a grizzly bear(played by Bart the bear who has appeared in numerous outdoor movies) and to try and keep one step ahead of him needs all the skills they have between them.Besides this there is a subplot concerning Baldwin's interest in Hopkin's wife which makes the movie extra suspensful because you wonder how it will all end.In any case THE EDGE is well worth a watch and even purchase and to my mind this is one of Hopkin's best ever roles.The bluray is stunning and brings out the features of the snowy alaskan wilderness-definitely well recommended!

Really an excellent film demonstrating many of the things required to survive in the wilderness, skills lost to our emasculated, feminized males. Both actors are great, the scenery is awesome. Great pacing, story line, and direction. Too bad they don''t make them like this anymore.

Very good movie. Shows how to stay humble and classy in the face of great adversity. Something we could use a little of in our society.

This movie is fantastic! Of course, when you have Anthony Hopkins in anything, it turns out very well. Alec Baldwin, in my opinion, deserves much better credit for his acting, which in this movie is incredible. I love the outdoors and this movie satisfies that craving very well, too.
