The plane carrying wealthy Charles Morse crashes down in the Alaskan wilderness. Together with the two other passengers, photographer Robert and assistant Stephen, Charles devises a plan to help them reach civilization. However, his biggest obstacle might not be the elements, or even the Kodiak bear stalking them -- it could be Robert, whom Charles suspects is having an affair with his wife and would not mind seeing him dead.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
But it's too predictable by half, and Mamet's profundities have more volume than mass.
– Jeff Millar,
Houston Chronicle,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The Edge succeeds ably in blending his famously acerbic dialogue with nerve-racking adventure scenes.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
...The Edge is not only half-baked, warmed-over Hemingway.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
It's subtly funny in the way it toys with the cliches of the genre.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
...The Edge's fusion of Mametspeak with a true life adventure remains brawny entertainment, even it it is difficult to take as seriously as the filmmakers intend.
– Kenneth Turan,
