"...[THE EDGE] exhibits a restrained literateness that's quite effective..."
Box Office - Kim Williamson (10/01/1997)"...THE EDGE boasts some awesome effects..."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (02/01/1998)"...Great bear. Great Hopkins...
USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna (09/26/1997)"...A barbed, great-looking adventure film written cannily by David Mamet and directed with verve and fury by Lee Tamahori..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (09/26/1997)"...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..."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (10/03/1997)"...THE EDGE's fusion of Mametspeak with a true life adventure remains brawny entertainment..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (09/26/1997)"...It's subtly funny in the way it toys with the cliches of the genre....The movie contains glorious scenery..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (09/26/1997)"Hopkins does fine work as a billionaire stranded in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness with a smarmy photographer, played by Alec Baldwin....THE EDGE is an interesting footnote in the Mamet canon..." -- Grade: B
