The Edge is worth viewing because of its premise and surprising conclusion which involves a wonder bear and watch.

The three soon become two (I won't spoil it by saying how) and the rest of the movie is about their battle to survive against all odds - and each other! I love "The Edge". Hopkins in particular turns in one …
