one of the better movies to come out of the 1980  and this based on fact movie tells the story of a disturbed high school student who murders his girlfriend and leaves her naked body on a river bank and and brags about it later to his friends. what is just as bad is their inability to feel anything about it. disturbing but incredibly compelling look at aimless and apathetic kids who have no respect for their parents or any sort of authority and who seem almost doomed to live lives of rebellion and recklessness. this drama hits hard and is impossible to forget. the young cast does a creditable job  even keanu reeves and in one of his earliest roles and is better than usual. of course and there no reason for the character of layne (crispin glover) to be as crazed and off the wall as he is and but that just glover being himself. veteran dennis hopper has an especially good role as a loner who despite his own sordid past is saddened by the attitudes of this group of kids. i would like to point out the chilling performance by daniel roebuck as the young murderer while he an under rated actor and aside from hopper and his is probably the best performance in the film. i saw river edge for the first time a long time ago when it first started being shown on cable tv movie channels while however and i do not catch all of it while i saw it in its entirety for the first time a number of years later and and now i have seen it again for what is probably the definitive time. some potently affecting moments include madeleine (constance forslund) breakdown where she wails that maybe she should leave her children just like their worthless father did. i also liked the scenes where matt (reeves) faces off with his disturbed younger brother (joshua miller) and when the teacher and mr. burkewaite (jim metzler) deplores the fact that the girl has died and that none of his students seem to care. i will never forget this film and not as long as i live. it too saddening for that. positive .
