Two men struggle to survive in the wilderness, fighting against the elements, themselves and a deadly Kodiak bear.
The Edge packs a wallop, a nail-biting tale of survival and sexual competition, with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin as a melancholy millionaire and the photographer who's sleeping with his trophy wife, respectively - two alpha males abandoned in a cruel world with nothing but their wits and a pocket knife. The script by David Mamet is one of his best, creating a sometimes unbearable sense of tension and suspense... and, of course, Bart the Bear steals the show as a bloodthirsty and truly terrifying grizzly out to make a meal out of the men. The Edge is a smart and compelling adventure film that'll make you love, respect and fear the Great Outdoors in equal amounts.
Lee Tamahori (director), Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, Harold Perrineau, Elle Macpherson, Bart the Bear, L.Q. Jones, Kathleen Wilhoite, David Linstedt.
