On the Edge

Crap, crap, crap... I saw this movie because it promised a good work, (or so was the campaign).

But what i found was a fistful of clichés, bad acting, bad timing, bad direction, bad use of a could be good plot, bad edition, etc.

The vision of the excess is very simplistic.

It pretends to be controversial putting some nudes around here, some drug abusing there, some violence there, but all that is gratuitous.

But the worse of all is its pretentiousness, it pretends to be a "not for the weak of hearth" movie, it pretends to give us a moral, but worse of all, it pretends to be a movie.

It is so bad that even the involuntary humor is bad.

It's a shame that Mexican cinema nowadays is very poor, both in quantity and quality.

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll have all been easy draws to a film. This one opens with some hot steamy sex (and drugs) between Lucia (Ana de la Reguera - Cop Out) and a bullfighter (Alejandro Nones). The next minute she is rushing to work and shooting the squeegee guys through her windshield. She did tell them not to do it! Hanna (Ingrid Martz) is having problems with her very rich husband (Ricardo Kleinbaum), a real mamma's boy. She spends a lot of time in therapy. She also likes to check out breasts more than I do, if that is possible, especially Sandra's (Anna Ciocchetti).

Carmen (Gabriela Platas), Unemployed likes to hang with a gay and a transvestite, and snort cocaine. In fact, I don't think five minutes goes by with her snorting more.

Put these three in one apartment, and you are certain to have some steamy and exciting action. Unfortunately, only one seems to end up finding happiness.

I thought the acting was great, and the story certainly kept your interest.

It is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. The acting is terrible, the story is grotesque and pretty unreal and they try to get our attention by displaying pornographic images all the time.

There is one user who assured that it is pretty much the way it happens in Mexico. I gotta say that it certainly isn't. I've lived most of my life in Mexico City and although we have a lot of problems, it is not like we live our lives surrounded by alcohol, drugs, etc. It is a shame that this user believes that the movie shows a true side of this place.

I would never suggest anyone to watch this movie as it is pure rubbish. If you plan to see a good Mexican movie try "Innocent Voices" instead. It may not be the greatest movie ever, but at least that's truly shocking, and a piece of art, I might say.

Anyway, don't waste your time or money... "Asi del precipicio" completely sucks...

Super sexy Ana de la Reguera can't save this movie from sinking. The story is too lame and personal that maybe the director/writer wrote it when she was 14. Te first 5 mins of the movie are the best example of what is coming next: sex, drugs, bad acting, terrible dialog and lots of plot holes and contradictions.

There was strong publicity on this movie that was sure to pull a lot of people into theaters, most of them guys looking to get a peek of Ana's nude scene.

Unfortunately Mexico creates 20 bad filmmakers for every good one. Not too mention the hundreds who don't have the connections, friends or relatives to get the money for they movie, or a family fortune...

I can't believe how Mexican studios still throw away money like that.

This movie is one of the worst movies i've ever seen. The script is really bad, from the plot developing to the dialoges. The so called shocking situations (The sex scenes and gay situations) don't serve to the story at all, it's obvious that the reason of that scenes is to cause controversy to fill the movie theaters, which is a shame, cause in Mexico is a lot of talent (i can't believe this piece of crap is financed by the government). Anyway, the actors don't help too much, they act like a soap opera, you simply can't believe a thing to any of them, they are fake, unidimensional, and predictable... The director of this film really have a copy of requiem on the set (just listen the music score), brokeback mountain and ameliè (for the initial scene), sadly she is far away to be Darren Aron's. I really waste my time and my money. DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE PLEASE... IS Really BAD..
