Continuity:
During the bear's attack on Stephen: Bob and Morse attempt to scare the bear off with torches lit from the campfire. However, there was a major downpour in the moments before and during the bear's attack. One wonders how the campfire, which can be seen burning well, would not have been extinguished by the rain.
Quotes: Ginny:
Is that a new watch? Robert Green:
Ya, dual time zones; tells the time in two places. Ginny:
What for? Robert Green:
So if I'm in L.A. and want to know the time in New York I don't have to go through the anguish of adding three.
User Review
Terrific Action Adventure
Rating: 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.
