Summary
Reviewers say 'Edge' received mixed reactions, with praise for its action, direction, and potential, but criticism for excessive violence, lack of likable characters, and a predictable plot. The pilot's failure to secure a full series may stem from its polarizing reception, with many finding it too violent and unengaging.
Featured reviews
I'm a fan of Shane Black but the writing in this one is a big mis-step. No wonder why it wasnt picked up for a series
Why not make it available? Why would you waste the efforts of the crew? Is it because you care more about profits and less about art? Come on imdb/amazon, at least let me ask a faq... tease.
This was a really good raw, nasty, and detailed idea of how the west really was. It is very gritty. I was moved by it's rawness. The characters were very believable. The gore was top notch. I don't understand why some reviewers gave it low ratings. If you like straight up nasty real life westerns, this is it. Watch it and judge for yourself. Easily an 8 outta 10. Im a a serious movie buff and wouldn't lie to you. It's a good old fashioned revenge western. Very well directed and amazing cast. I really hated the bad guys passionately. Got some good plot twists in there too. At times, can't tell who is good and who is bad. Watch it! But this ain't for the faint hearted. Some brutal scenes, nudity, lotsa gore, racism, cursing, etc. Like I said, 8 outta 10. Awesome movie.
This was a great pilot. Tons of action, story was good and you really just want this guy to accomplish his goal.
I have been waiting since 2015, hoping that this would be a series. To my demise, Amazon has decided not to play it.
DAMN SHAME. This series could have brought some real attention to the dying Western series.

I love westerns, even as shmaltzy as John Ford got, I still loved 'em. And I can even find things to like in the post-mod fun houses that Tarentino puts out.
But this show is barely watchable unless you watch it PIP with "Blazing Saddles" at the same time. The violence is at times innovative but often gratuitous and just vulgar, the female characters are undeveloped, and could we please just put away the strong silent protag with a mysterious past. Toshiro Mifune did it best which is why Leone stole it, but put it in a jar labelled "Eastwood" and forget it.
As with many modern westerns I wonder how they get made. The meeting scene near the end where landowners are getting orally served during the meeting, I think I get a clue what happened to fund this film.
Worst of all, I can't believe Shane Black and not his pre-teen grandson wrote this script. Bad bad puns, unnecessary dialogue, tedious villains. Cmon, Shane.
Was this a community service project to make up for parking tickets?
