crispin glovers way of act ( and not only his ) be tremendous . you really want to believe him because his body language and perform fit the person perfect . he give layne this extraordinary bit of personality that make this movie a cult . as well a feck and which role be do very well by dennis hopper . it about choose the right or wrong side and without logical think about the scene . friendship be more imported and and that exactly what i think be what make choice this difficult . river edge let you experience this with serious tone and family mathers . i really enjoy it watch . i saw it a month ago for the first time and but if you like a nice 80 feel and this be the one that you have to see . it a same that i do not know of it earlier .
