A plane crash in the freezing Alaskan wilderness pits intellectual billionaire Charles Morse (Anthony Hopkins) against self-satisfied fashion photographer Robert Green (Alec Baldwin) in a brutal struggle for survival.

Critics Consensus: The Edge is an entertaining hybrid of brainy Mamet dialogue with brawny outdoors action -- albeit one that sadly lacks as much bite as its furry antagonist.

Reviews

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

Dan DiNicola

It's likely moviegoers will remember a bear more than the limp dialogue -- that is stale David Mamet.

I really enjoy this unique character that Hopkins created in The Edge, and I feel he owns the movie.

The Edge, for all its hokiness, makes it real. When Hopkins comes down from the mountain, I believed he was looking at the world with new eyes.

It's not hard to read Charles' journey in 'The Edge' as analogous to its author's: the library-dwelling intellectual using his wits to brave rougher elements.
