Movie Description
An aging billionaire (Hopkins) and a fashion photographer (Baldwin) having an affair with the rich man's wife must struggle against the elements--including a man-eating bear--after their plane goes down in the Alaskan wild. An unusually dense and cerebral wilderness thriller, penned by literatus David Mamet and helmed by Tamahori (ONCE WERE WARRIORS).

New York Times - p.E10 - Janet Maslin
"...The well-matched actors grab their parts with disciplined ferocity. Baldwin does his best work in a long time....And Hopkins creates one of his most satisfying, complex characters..."

"...THE EDGE's fusion of Mametspeak with a true life adventure remains brawny entertainment..."
Los Angeles Times - p.F4 - Kenneth Turan
"...It's subtly funny in the way it toys with the cliches of the genre....The movie contains glorious scenery..."
