The Edge

Two stars. Disappointing.

While on a fashion photo shoot in remote Alaska, photographer Bob (Alec Baldwin), billionaire Charles (Anthony Hopkins), and Bear Food (Harold Perrineae) find themselves stranded in the wilderness after their plane crashes. Charles suspects Bob of coveting his fashion model wife, and Bob suspects Charles of being a rich asshole. They're both right, but they must work together to survive or die. There are bears, and Bear Food (odd name, but an appropriate one) gets eaten. There is hunting. There is rivalry and shouting. There is male bonding and betrayal. It's massively contrived, and fails the suspension of disbelief test. Hopkins' stuffy and reserved gentleman shows a decent transformation into Man Of The Wild, but Baldwin's performance is hammy enough to be served by the slice. Everyone involved can do so much better.
