Over The Edge

I want to start this one by saying that we see all the new producers who are trying to make their footprint in the industry. Who are trying to make simple and straight to the point productions for the viewers to consume. We appreciate you! However, we also want to make sure that you don’t forget that movies aren’t just formula, movies need emotion.

Over the Edge was yet another quick cut and shot job that was formulaically congruent but emotionally vacant. The story follows a young couple with an overbearing and insecure wife who will stop at nothing to prevent the future she envisions where her husband cheats on her. In so doing she starts to not only put her relationship at risk but also the life and safety of her husband and those around him.

Technically, the story follows. It makes sense and from scene to scene you understand what’s going on. In other words, the formula is great. But when you look back at the movie it is just vacant. From the fake flowers in the hospital to the forced attempts with the see-through night-gown, it makes sense technically on paper but in reality more is necessary to make a great movie.

The actors in the movie help it sail from scene to scene. Ruth Kadiri does well as the over bearing wife, Eddie Watson is alright as the husband and even the new faces in the supporting cast are able to hold their own. In the end though, the movie is flat, predictable and depthless and by the end of the movie you are not impacted otherwise.
