Great film! Crispin Glover, Dennis Hopper, Ione Skye and Daniel Roebuck are all great. Keanu Reeves can't really act but he does ok in this classic teen drama that was very different to the John Hughes type films that were doing very well at the time.
I must admit, seeing Keanu Reeves' pretty boy look on the cover immediately made me want to watch this as much as I've always wanted to see Martha Stewart's naked body.
But since this was an '86 movie, and not a '41 ex-con's naked body, I gave it a shot.
And now I must admit, th...( read more)
River's Edge is the reason why 30 years from now I'll be afraid of teenagers and why I'm very much afraid to alone with Crispin Glover.
Despite some flaws though this is a pretty great film. The story itself is very well handed and there are some really strong performances from G...( read more)
Dennis Hopper gets nun-chucked in the head by 12 year olds, long shots of a naked dead chick getting poked by sticks, and Crispen Glover's hair- all awesome. If you enjoyed his freak out scenes in Willard, you'll love him in this too. Funtastic.
I thought that it was a good movie, you really can't beat movies that have been taken from real events, and Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper are standouts in this picture!. . .
Offbeat to say the least! Funny, sobering, and unpredictable mashup of Fast Times At Ridgemont High meets Hill Street Blues featuring Crispin Glover's one-of-a-kind whacked-out performance.
This is defintely one of my favorite movies ever! I can't help but be entertained by Crispin Glover's amazing acting! Not only that, but the story is very well written and everyone's acting is not that bad as other movies. I love River's Edge and I hope that they will put it in b...( read more)
Yes, yes...I know the drill. Shame on me for not having seen this sooner. I kinda adore movies in this type of fashion. Be it Lean on Me, Alpha Dog or that one with another river and dead bodies, ah the complications. But, really Glover and Reeves shine in here..they really do. W...( read more)
Here we get to see a few famous actors before they got famous. This is actually one of the few movies where Keanu Reeves performs acceptable. I liked the story; from the first minute where we get to see what the movie is all about and how the different characters and groups tackl...( read more)
