SICKS6SIX S Dec 12 Great script. As you'd expect from Maughn. The casting might have restrained the film a bit. Murray was hard to take seriously at times. But well worth watching and better than the tomato critics score it. See more Robert N. @Rob123456 Oct 1 Murry made his masterpiece.

See more Hernan M 09/01/2024 I love this movie; this is the original Eat Pray love story but from a man's perspective. I would even say they copied the plot of this movie (not the original novel by W. Somerset Maugham) for the book Eat Pray Love. But this movie, in 4 acts, takes on tragedy(WW1), Indulgence (Paris), spirituality (with monks in the Himalayas), love or the loss of love (Sophie) in Paris, but also compassion for a dying old man. See more Blackhawk W 04/05/2024 I love The Razor's Edge. It's a story about a search for 'the meaning of life.' Which is a question we all have at certain points in our life. I am sure this is what inspired Bill Murray to make this movie happen, to help write the script and to star in it. He too was searching for the meaning of life. I am sure the loss of his friend John Belushi influenced his passion for this project. Especially when he used the same words in the movie that he did at John Belushi's funeral. It is the first instance of seeing one of the greatest comedians ever, do an honest straight role... well almost. It is much like finding out that Eddie Murphy was also a great actor and not just a comedian. The movie also reminds you the question we all ask... What would my life had been like if I went in a different direction? What if I'd married a different person? What if I had chosen a different occupation for my life? The pain and the suffering and the heartache we all go through just living life. Some of the lines in the movie or deceiving. "You just don't get it." "There is no payoff." The answer is... even in the movie...The payoff is having the opportunity to live this life. The movie is a great experience especially when your melancholy... to realize how lucky we all are. He's traveled the whole world looking for the meaning of life. The final words are. "I'm going home." "Where's home?" "America!" See more Read all reviews
