"I happen to know my friends, fucking know them. We're like a fucking team; we're like Starsky and Hutch."

"River's Edge" Video


A bunch of brain-dead, drug-addled teens attempt to protect one of their buddies who has strangled his girlfriend and left her body along the bank of a river. Ione Skye and Keanu Reeves hit the sleeping bag, Dennis Hopper ("Feck") takes an inflatable doll along for a ride in the funniest beer run in film history and Crispin Glover chews the scenery with his over-the-edge portrayal of a speed-popping freak. A stellar cast helps turn this potentially mediocre film into a meaningful statement about teen angst.
