cool movie with iirc a fight with a bear at some point in the movie

Surprisingly good. Good performances from all, especially the bear.

A pretty good film, that is hurt by an uneven plot. There are a few points where the pace slows to a crawl, and where a viewer might get a bit bored. I also thought that it lost some momentum during the third act. Despite some pacing issues, the cast does well and the Alaska scenery is enjoyable to look at even when the cast is setting around and pontificating.

A very philosophical dramatic action movie featuring man versus beast, than man versus man, and than lastly man's redemption. I thought that all the performances were really very enjoyable, but Alec Baldwin really stole the show. The scenes with the bear were especially intense especially after you see one of the men lost in the woods attacked by a Kodiak. A very easy movie to follow, but it did give you something to think about. At times a little slow, but all is forgiven when it is good.

The best part was when the black guy has a knife for literally about ten seconds and inexplicably cuts himself. "What have I done!?"

Not nearly as well done as they hoped it would be. Very dull and boring at parts.

Suprisingly, this did not suck. Huh. I felt it was well-paced, with some nice action moments, and Hopkins & Baldwin balanced each other out...I guess there was enough scenery around to be chewed by all :)

Excellent adventure story. Hats off to Mamet especially for doing such a fine job on this, even though I hear tell this was a job he took just for the money

Certainly has its moments, with some solid performances and some good tension. It does nothing stunning or new, but will entertain.

"This movie is about a billionaire with a heart of gold, who is misunderstood and preyed upon by the ungrateful greedy non-rich," the scriptwriter says, winks knowingly, and then says it again seriously at the end of the film. In short, this is the polar analog of those awful 70s Cuban communist propaganda films that all the film studies geeks are raving about. It's nauseatingly cliche-ridden and filled with the paranoid delusions of a rich man with a guilty conscience.

"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.
