"Succeeds ably in blending his famously acerbic dialogue with nerve-racking adventure scenes."

The New York Times
The New York Times"It's subtly funny in the way it toys with the cliches of the genre."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"...The Edge's fusion of Mametspeak with a true life adventure remains brawny entertainment, even it it is difficult to take as seriously as the filmmakers intend."

Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"There is a lot to enjoy here. Tamahori's second Hollywood outing is economically directed, the scenery is spectacular and beautifully shot by Donald M. McAlpine and the initial air crash rivals Alive for its sudden, chaotic realism."
