I got this movie from Netflix, the next to last movie I will be returning. I think once I stop getting discs from Netflix, I will be hitting up Tubi more often. There are a lot of movies there that I want to get around to. The story for this movie has a married couple, Robert and Molly, moving into a home that was once owned by Robert's father. They have lost their daughter to a tragic accident and are hoping this will be something of a fresh start for them. Robert is an author and is working on a new book, which is another reason he wanted to move, to get away from big city life and focus on…
WATER'S EDGE is the story of a married couple who has lost their daughter and seeks to reconnect in a cabin far from civilization. However, following a fight, the man goes into the forest and finds a policeman ready to smash in the head of a beautiful woman.
Not at all your straightforward and classic crime-thriller, which is what kept me watching. In the hands of more capable filmmakers, this could have been a solid Michael Douglas movie, instead we get some strange and uneven performances that might deter some people from finishing the movie.
Give it chance, though, you might just be surprised by how the story unfolds. And you know what, Nathan Fillion and Chandra West are pretty solid in the lead roles. Definitely not your typical Nathan Fillion movie.
A pretty plot heavy thriller that is actually quite good.
Also, this is a well shot film.
It's nicely paced and keeps up a good story. The ending is a bit a dodgy though. It ends with a pretty standard gun fight and then has a suprise ending which is totally impossible.
Apart from that the film is fine. Emmanuelle Vaugier is great of course.
Just listening to the closing credits and the song Complete is nice.

Where to start with this? Ludicrously bad at times, yet somehow compelling.
The good is that it’s quite intense. The acting is convincing (just) and the plot moves at a brisk pace with some interesting twists and turns, leading to an ending with elements of Hot Fuzz conspiracy and Die Hard shootout. The production is OK and overall it’s well enough done to be a reasonably average thriller. I kinda liked it.
On the other hand... the plot is baffling at times. Not complex, just baffling. Nathan Fillion plays a New York writer returning to his rural hometown. He has problems with…
Castle's Nathan Fillion and Chandra West of the horrendous Puppet Maaster 4 & 5 films, star as Mr. And Mrs. Graves, a double who recently transplant to the country after their daughter dies. After a fight, he stumbles onto a scene in the woods that leads the couple into a sordid tale of greed, lust and murder.
This is a strictly by-the-books affair, low-key thriller that won't have you guessing at what's going to happen as its all way too easily foreshadowed.the acting is merely mediocre and the whole film just has the feel of an absolutely average, mundane TV movie, akin to one one might find on say Lifetime or Hallmark.
Following the death of their child, a couple move to his father's cabin in a small town. When collecting some wood in the trees the man comes upon the sheriff and a beaten handcuffed woman with a gun to her head. The sheriff hears a noise so instead of shooting her he decides to smash her skull in to be quieter. Shotgun in hand he interferes and ends up saving the woman but killing the sheriff. As he is getting rid of the car and the body he discovers a bad of money and some incriminating photos leading to a mystery of who is telling the truth.
Not Nathan's finest performance but a good movie. The plot is a little rushed in spots and would have been better sooner than later. Nice little twist near the end...
