Review of The Edge (1997) by Jeroen V — 19 Jun 2010
A powerful millionaire (Anthony Hopkins), his wife's photographer (Alec Baldwin) and his assistant (Harold Perrineau, Jr.) are involved with a terrifying plane crash and must survive on their own after finding themselves stranded in the Alaskan wilderness.
Apart from having to survive the elements and a man eating bear, there is friction between Hopkins and Baldwin as Hopkins' beautiful young wife (Elle Macpherson) is having an affair with the famed photographer.
In fact, Baldwin was planning to eliminate his rival; something the other man sensed all along. However he is now forced to rely on Hopkins' intelligence to stay alive and outwit the ferocious killer bear that is stalking them every step of the way.
The cinematography in The Edge is outstanding and the bravura acting keeps you on the "edge" of your seat as each man is pitted against each other in a fight for survival.
