WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Radish4ever I have always been a huge fan of the George G Gilman paperback westerns from the 80's.I have collected many of them over the years. I never thought that their would be a movie based on the stories, and directed by the great Shane Black. The film totally does justice and its full of shootouts, action and revenge - just like the books. The plot is simple - Josephia Hegdge's (Edge) brother is murdered by the son of a powerful man and 'Edge' rides into town to settle the score.A true western icon finally given a live action movie. Great performances from everyone. A total of 61 books in total were printed plus 3 spin off's where he teamed up with Adam Steele (another George G Gilman character - perhaps he might get a movie too?) and some later Kindle stories. A massive thank you to the film makers from a true fan.
stephen-lambe I am rather partial to a Western, and this one actually has a bit of promise to it. It's action packed, has some good dialogue and some convincing performances.Ryan Kwanten is particularly good.But, by golly it's probably the most gratuitously violent programme I've ever seen on TV, and I've seen plenty of violent stuff. Also, very few of the characters are remotely sympathetic - when you feel most sorry for a dog and a horse, then there's something wrong. So, Shane Black and Co may need to modify this one for a full series. I'm unlikely to watch it unless it tones down the series and makes its main character more sympathetic.
orientsteve-575-574882 I must begin by first of all saying that I am a western fan and a huge fan of the "Edge" book series by George G Gilman. I have been hoping to see this character in movies for years and was shocked and ecstatic when i saw it on Amazon. Whilst some of the plot and characters unfortunately deviated somewhat needlessly from the books it was still an exciting ride through the old west of "Josiah C Hedges". The acting and direction were first rate and the on screen action gritty and bloody. Quite how a previous reviewer can put it down in comparison to Hell on Wheels and call it almost unwatchable is beyond me. I can only assume he as not watched very many westerns at all. Don't get me wrong i do not dislike Hell on Wheels but i often find it plodding and slow. If you like your westerns and you like the style of the "Good Bad and Ugly" then you should enjoy "Edge" Please do not be put off by the previous negative reviewer and give this Title a chance to grow and flourish as a Series.
JoeManko It made HELL ON WHEELS look like UNFORGIVEN. It was free and I fast-forwarded through half of it, but it was still a deeply depressing experience as a western fan. To say this wasn't up to Shane Black's usual quality standards would be the understatement of the year. It was like a terrible NAKED GUN-style comedy spoof of a western they would have made in the 80s... But if it didn't realize it was a comedy.So, uh.... What exactly were they going for here?It wasn't even remotely close to being gritty enough to work as a real-world western (obviously!). It was goofy and silly, but not clever or funny, so it didn't work as a spoof of the genre. The OTT action wasn't cool or OTT ENOUGH to work on an insane-fun John Woo level. And it didn't seem to realize how deeply terrible it was, so it failed to even capitalize on working on a "so intentionally bad it's fun" level.So... A super-goofy-and-silly, yet oddly straight-faced-and-unfunny OTT western action show with sub-par action, terrible acting, and amateur cinematography? WHO WAS THIS MADE FOR?!! Certainly not any variety of western fan.Plus, a Shane Black movie without a single line of good dialogue? I thought I'd never see the day.... What a wasted opportunity.
