This old 80's film shows how some trailer trash people were In real life.
Completely out of their stoned/washed faces all the time and haven't got a brain cell between them.
A great cast but one messed up film which gets worst throughout.
I think Matt (Keanu) gets a change of I.D in 1994 and goes by the name of Jack to track down Feck (Hopper) A.K.A Howard Payne.
Speed anyone.:)

Can you imagine if Hollywood tried to remake this one...well here it goes.

Lad goes down to the river with his girlfriend and strangles her after she made fun of his mum.
Goes home and gets straight onto his lap top.
Facebook Status:Just killed my girlfriend. If you don't believe me go down to the river.
Everybody goes down there and reports it to the cops.
THE END

First rewatch in over 20 years. Still as unsettling as it was in the late 80s, surprising how little it has dated and how the generation depicted in the film now looks on the youth of today with the same uncomprehending horror.

This is a bizarre head fuck of a movie.

Stand By Me for stoners.

Bill And Ted's Depressing Adventure.

Bizarre.

But some great, often insane performances, especially from Hopper and Glover, make it a memorable head fuck.

Mother fucker! Food eater!

A really interesting 80s movie that says more about the breakdown of morals and about growing up than most films could even wish to say. Unfortunately it doesn't completely follow through on it's convictions but this is still an interesting, underseen work.

In small town America a group of delinquent teens find their lives shattered when one of their gang murders his girlfriend. Friendship, families and loyalties are divided as each try to deal with the tragedy, with Layne (Crispin Glover) wanting to protect his friend, whilst Matt (Keanu Reeves) wants to turn him in - to the annoyance of his out-of-control younger brother. River's Edge remains a powerful and uncomfortable viewing experience 25 years on, the twisting dynamics and morality of the central characters - plus some out-there turns from Glover and Dennis Hopper - making this a gripping and thought provoking drama.

both crispin glover and dennis hopper are in this movie

This film is so intriguing and yet so distancing. It's a portrait of a group of teenagers who are so disaffected that they don't know how to process the murder of one of their friends... by another of their friends. But the whole thing plays out like part-school play, part arthouse film and in the case of Crispin Glover, an SNL skit. While Reeves and Skye are wonderfully naturalistic and Hopper is surprisingly nuanced in his usual psycho role, Glover is on a different wavelength altogether. He shatters the coherency of any scene he's in... but at least he's never boring. A real oddity, and for me at least, something of a missed opportunity.

um, sure.

this film should have been a train wreck but with a combination of crispin glover's insanity, dennis hopper's blue velvet and easy rider flashbacks, children being reckless, slayer bumping the entire time and it being one of the most disturbing domestic movies since ken park, a super surprising late 80's film, please check this out

THE END

A reminder that once upon a time the youth of cinema (or reality) weren't dangerous merely to serve their own self reflexive trend. One of the great, quintessential Dennis Hopper wack-o's, surely; But also the best performance Crispin Glover has ever given. If you don't blink, you'll probably get a sense of the pre-Grunge atmosphere lurking beneath the Are-we-metal-or-are-we-hippies? jumble.

Diesen Film kann man nur schwer beschreiben. Eine geballte Ladung Verbrechen, die sich durch den Film quälen und mit Gleichmut und Stumpfsinn hingenommen werden.
Natürlich hat der Film eine tolle 80er-Atmosphäre.
