apparently this movie be base on a true story . i be not sure how accurate it be and though . but it really remind me of how when i see that someone have be murder on the news and it amaze how much it doesn not affect me . sure and i think it terrible and but i honestly do not care . i move on . it seem that murder be trivial now . this be what river edge show . nobody really seem to care about this girl and her death and not even the killer . then what the point . the killer in this story be john and and for the large amount of the movie he hide out with another killer name feck and play by dennis hopper . feck be old and and you can see the generational gap . he say he love the girl that he kill . when he ask john if he love the girl he kill and he simply reply and she be okay . the movie only seem to offer one solution represent life be more important than death . a character life be spar and people get second chance and and one hopeless case be kill . the acting be really good . after watch this movie i could only come to the conclusion that crispin glover be either a brilliant actor and or a terrible actor . i still have no idea . he be my main reason to see this movie and though . but the best performance be clearly give by dennis hopper . even though the fashion be really 80 and character sometimes mention then current issue and i still think river edge be a relevant today a ever . my rating represent positive .
