 Death and Apathetic Teens
Submitted on: 2009-11-04 |

This movie really shows how dangerous apathy can be. It's both sad and scary to see that only one of the teens actually seems to care about what might happen to his murderous friend. Though the tale is a dark one, the acting of Crispin Glover really cracked me up. To be honest, I bought this movie just from seeing clips of his character, Layne, and I'm very glad that I did. Aside from Glover's hilarious lines, Keanu Reeves does a good job as a sort of "front man" for the story.
Don't buy this expecting a happy ending, because really, how happy can things be when a girl has been killed by a former friend? But it's definitely worth checking out, especially if you like Crispin Glover. (You can tell I'm a big fan from my review of "Willard" as well.) Keanu Reeves fans will probably enjoy it, too, because he perfectly emulates the laid-back 80s teen that drinks and smokes but doesn't go too overboard like he did in his Theodore "Ted" Logan role. |

 The anti-80s film

The Bottom Line:
This unique teen film from the 80s focuses on a group of friends who find one of their number murdered...and then mill around without calling the police or showing any sign of remorse or disapproval; a distinctly interesting study of teen anomie, River's Edge is imperfectly put together but much more thought-provoking than the Pretty in Pinks and Breakfast Clubs of the world.

Still Gripping
Submitted on: 2009-10-06 |

| Even though it has been nearly 20 years since I've seen this movie, it's still gripping. I realize all these years later that it is kind of a teen movie, but only because it involves high school students. Crazy man Dennis Hopper puts in another great performance. This movie asks the question, "What would you do?". |
