The movie is a coming of age story that aims for realistic portraiture of suicidal teens, and is told with a mixture of drama and humor.

The Edge on Blu ray sucker punched my expectations, my eyes and mind with its harsh natural setting and crafty story.

The Edge (originally titled Bookworm) makes an appealing hero of an idle billionaire.

It doesnt take a dashing young hero, it takes a calm, quiet, 50 year old man, who tries to teach his friends what one man can do, another can do.
