Summary: A billionaire and two other men are stranded, unequipped, by a plane crash in a dangerous wilderness. How many will survive to be rescued? (imdb)
I'm not what you'd call an expert in tawing and/or tanning, but no amount of wildlife survival knowledge accumulated from Daniel Boone novels will result in those snazzy fur coats Hopkins and Baldwin were wearing at the end.
Nothing magical but pretty entertaining romp of man vs. the elements mixed with man vs. man. Both Hopkins and Reeves are effective but Bart the Bear is great.
If you can forgive it the first thirty minutes and the corny Hollywood pandering, you've got yourself something that's actually quite psychologically intriguing. Anthony Hopkins is pleasingly type-cast as Practical Wisdom Man as always; finally able to test his lofty interpersonal reserves. It has a good message on thinking and psychology (*likes messages sometimes*), but I can certainly understand the poorer scores. --- It's almost certainly more interesting than Gerry.
From the other scores I see in my top TCI's I can see that this movie is very unapreciated. I found it to be a very fun and exciting movie. Alec Baldwin and Hopkins seem to have a good time interacting with each other, and the bear was really well done. Recommended.
"The Edge" is an intense movie. What really makes the film work is the comradery, and the rivalry, of the two main characters: Charles and Bob, played superbly by Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. Each shot of them showcases both their need and liking of each other as well as their deeply buried hatred. The biting dialogue, which is often fraught with double meanings, only helps to fortify this fact.
