"The Edge", a tense adventure thriller released in 1997, is one of my favorite Anthony Hopkins films. While "The Edge" may not be as popular as "Silence of the Lambs" or other Hopkin's flicks, This strikes me as one of his deeper roles. Hopkin's portrays an intellectual business man named Charles who is stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with his wife's secret lover played by Alec Baldwin.
Hopkin's and Baldwin play an intellectual chess game with that secret knowledge all the while fighting for survival in their flight from a ravenous grizzly bear. This is an inspiring movie simply because of Hopkin's characters choice to take the moral high road. I have seen it several times and will probably see it again.
Review .....4 out of 5 popcorn bag
