Review of River's Edge

River's Edge (1986)
10/10
One of the best of the 80's
30 May 2001
This is actually among my all time favorites...

This movie hit close to home in that these were the kind of kids I went to school with (not murderers...rather the outsiders who's biggest concern was their next drug score). The acting was decent and I recently saw this on video and it wasn't dated too badly as are a lot of the 80's movies. This was the perfect anti-Hughes teen movie.

Slayer on the soundtrack was also a HUGE bonus as are the acting performances by Krispin Glover, Keanu Reeves (well, as good as he can get anyways ;)), Dennis Hopper, Joshua Miller, Roxana Zal and Daniel Robuck.

Great flick but not for everyone...
