Unsuccessfully mixes melodrama with action/adventure and satire.

...a solid man-against-nature tale...

Anthony Hopkins' first action movie casts him as a gentle, brainy tycoon stuck in the Alaskan wilderness with only voracious bears and, just as threatening, Alec Baldwin for company.

Bart the bear steals the show!

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 pretty routine B-type action movie with some nice touches.

But it's too predictable by half, and Mamet's profundities have more volume than mass.

...not a terrifically memorable piece of filmmaking.

...The Edge is not only half-baked, warmed-over Hemingway.

...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.

Mamet has always been concerned with primal masculinity...The test of these men is twofold: can they survive the wilderness, and can they survive each other? [Blu-ray]
