What lets the movie down, surprisingly enough, is its David Mamet script which promises high tension and emotional confrontation bolted to quality action. Full Review |

A riveting story of survival, and the most rousing and gripping outdoor adventure since the original Jaws. One of 1997's very best films.

A few scattered profanities, a couple of gory accidents and a subplot about suspected adultery are all that separates this story from the grade-school classic "My Side of the Mountain." Full Review |

The Edge, more of a drama than the action/thriller it's being billed as, exhibits a restrained literateness that's quite effective. Full Review |
