Sir Evan's Weekly Movie Recommendation

The Edge (****) 1997

Rated R (language and violence)

Starring Anthony Hopkins & Alec Baldwin
Directed by Lee Tamahori
Written by David Mamet

One of my all-time favorites, The Edge is a thrilling tale of survival in the remote woods of Canada. Charles Morse (Hopkins) and Bob Green (Baldwin) find themselves stranded in a deadly wilderness when their Cessna seaplane crashes. Having gone way off course, no one will be coming to get them. They must push aside their differences in order to survive. To make matters worse, a giant, flesh-eating bear haunts their every move, and the harsh winter is well on its way. The Edge is a small masterpiece of raw suspense, action, and the complexities of human interaction. Check it out, and you will not be disappointed!
