Over the Edge
Starring: Michael Eric Kramer, Pamela Ludwig
Directed by: Jonathan Kaplan
2005 Drama
"A kid who tells on another kid is a dead kid." With this immortal line, doomed teenager Richie (Matt Dillon, in his 1979 screen debut) delineates the survival code for those whose very youth represents a nuisance to parents and cops in a struggling new suburb. Powered by authentic dialogue and Van Halen anthems, Over the Edge was the blueprint for flicks like Pump Up the Volume, and it remains an essential depiction of the misanthropic war on American youth.
