Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Morse and Green fashion their bear-hide jackets there is some very neat stitching together of the pieces with straight seams in the back. This is not what you would expect in the wild. On top of that, it would take at least a week, using the necessary chemicals, to properly tan that bear's hide to make a suitable leather. more

Terrific Action Adventure, 9 February 2000
10/10

"The Edge" is a terrific movie, not just as an action movie but as whole. I went to see this film because I thought it looked interesting, my expectations were shattered, this is a well written, well acted, well directed thriller. Anthony Hopkins as always turns in a great performance but the big suprise is Alec Baldwin who did just as well. This film has some of the best dialogue ever written for a movie of this type, and the action scenes are clever and blazingly paced. This is a terrific movie.
