and then someone's trying to shoot them with them telling the truth.

A group of high school friends discover that they are in the presence of a killer. One of them, John, has murdered one of their friends, Jamie. He brags to them all at school about killing her, and when they discover he is telling the truth, their reactions vary. Layne, the self-proclaimed leader of the group, is intent on keeping the murder a secret and protecting John, while the rest of the group (Matt, Clarissa, Maggie, and Tony) contemplate going to the police.

Add a Commenttruly a great movie. great supporting cast. include dennis hopper keanu reeves ione skye.etc.
one of the most shocking movies of it's time. truly watchable movie.you should check this movie out.
Amazing. Insane. Brutally honest.
This was an early style offering of the talent driven movie model. The artistic integrity is the colossal acting weight. Before this... producer driven dips in the seams. Not the greatest of formula but one I have grown to appreciate over others. Which is to say I haven't seen RE in so long I CAN'T WAIT!!
Excellent movie and acting by all those who starred in it-my opinion.
Maybe one day the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will see fit to honor Crispin Glover's performance in RIVER'S EDGE.
very unique.there's no movie like this. it was so real and more true to life than any movie on this type of subject subject that I have ever seen.
A stellar dark true-crime style story concerning murder and the reactions of a network of friends. Crispin Glover and Dennis Hopper both deliver memorable performances. The film addresses disaffected youth.
