On the Edge

Scenery great. Other locations really interesting to. The father's yard. The makeshift gym in the old riverboat hulk. Bruce Dern is committed. You can tell his genuine passion for running. Pam Grier looks great as the love interest. As for the rest. Fun that other competitors protect the interloper but rationale not really explained. A generally muddled plot with elements that peter out in slightly hackneyed dialogue. The father who never appreciated him coming around to a good luck son. The love interest wandering out on his life at the aquarium. The draw at the end is a bit corny too but why not I suppose.
