Over the Edge (DVD)
In the pre-Internet days of 1979, teens' attire and musical preferences mirrored the era, with KISS on their T-shirts and Led Zeppelin adorning their walls. This setting is the backdrop for the story of Richie (played by the electrifying debut of Matt Dillon) and Carl (Michael Kramer), two teenagers stuck in the planned community of New Granada, located in rural Colorado.
Richie, a two-bit hood in the mold of Jackie Earle Haley's "Bad News Bears" character, and his partner in mischief, Carl, come from contrasting backgrounds. While Richie's life is marked by petty crime and breaking curfew, Carl hails from a more stable environment. However, the introduction of a gun into their lives leads their small-scale delinquency to spiral into tragedy and apocalyptic revenge.
Directed by Jonathan Kaplan (The Accused) and shot by Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), "Over the Edge" captures the details of the era with precision: the kids, the times, and their frustration with an adult world that fails to comprehend them. At times, the film almost feels like a documentary, save for a few moments of high Kubrick-meets-Walter Hill drama, such as when Carl is jumped by a couple of hoods, including Vincent Spano (Baby It's You).
The period-perfect soundtrack further enhances the film's authenticity, with potent tracks from Bands like Cheap Trick, the Ramones, and the Cars. The movie, which was unavailable for too long, deserves to find the same audience as other teen rebellion classics, such as co-writer Tim Hunter's "River's Edge."
Overall, "Over the Edge" is a poignant and gripping portrayal of the struggles faced by teenagers in a world that seems to have forgotten them. The film's gritty realism, coupled with its stellar performances and a soundtrack that captures the essence of the era, make it a must-see for fans of coming-of-age stories and cinematic depictions of youth culture.
