À propos de ce film

Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominee Matt Dillon ("Crash," "There's Something About Mary") stars in this updated "Rebel Without a Cause" tale about teenagers in an affluent middle-American suburb where everything should be right, but isn't. The New York Times said it is "one of the year's best" and The Village Voice called it "dynamic, well directed, and acutely observed." Leonard Maltin sums it up as "powerful.... A winner!" Directed by Emmy-winner Jonathan Kaplan ("The Accused") with a soundtrack featuring music by Cheap Trick, The Cars, The Ramones and Van Halen.

Notes et avis

This film hit home, because I was an American youth who was lucky enough to SEE the police chief and his henchman of our city led away by the DEA in handcuffs circa 1980, so for those -- including our ever present fascist right wing -- who whine and fuss that the portrayal of the police in this film is is absurd I am am here to tell you that the actions of police, military, and military industrial complex in real life is always more disgusting than could ever be portrayed on film.

OTE reminds me of my childhood, growing up with nothing else to do, I wasn't as cool as Carl and Claude though, Love this movie! Favorite part: when the girl is running through the halls in the school with huge globe and she stops dead in her tracks when she sees a cop and points the globe at him and says: "EAT IT! YA STINKIN PIG!"

Over the Edge is a perfect 5 star movie. The nostalgia this movie brings back from just hanging with friends and doing stupid stuff because we were bored and had nothin better to do. The acting was so real to me almost like it was a documentary and not a scripted movie. Such an awesome movie.
