Quote:
The Edge is a 1997 film drama directed by Lee Tamahori, starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin.

Harold Perrineau and Elle Macpherson co-star. L. Q. Jones also has a supporting role as an innkeeper. Bart the Bear, a trained Kodiak Bear known for appearances in several Hollywood movies, appears as a vicious grizzly; this was one of his last film roles.

The film was written by David Mamet, and despite the unusual setting it touches upon many themes common to Mamet's other works including, the bonding of strong male characters, tough posturings and playful surprises. The story explores, through action and intricate dialog, the survival instincts of these men in terms of their competition with each other and with their environment.

This is such an underrated film. It never gets brought up, but to me it's a 90s classic. They often get overlooked, though, like The River Wild and Cliffhanger. It has a better story and a better bear encounter than The Revenant, and an Alec Baldwin performance that's not especially noteworthy but just highlights the gulf in talent between stars of the 90s and stars now, such as Ryan Gosling. Now it's all about looking cool with very little acting needed. Hopkins and co. didn't bang the 'difficult shoot' drum on the press tour either. Just made the film and got on with it.
