On the Edge is a 2001 Irish film directed by John Carney and starring Cillian Murphy, Tricia Vessey, Jonathan Jackson and Stephen Rea. The dramedy tells the story of a suicidal, young Irishman and his stay in a Dublin psychiatric hospital where he meets new friends who greatly impact his life.
Dakota Smith (Fred Williamson) is an ex-cop and former private eye with a proclivity for community service. When a young basketball player entangles himself with drug dealers, he turns to Dak for help. Eventually goons are sent to kill the hoopster, but they hit the family of Rex Stevens (Bernie Casey) by mistake. Frustrated by the incompetent and crooked police, the trio of Smith, Stevens, and their friend Frank Harris (Ron O'Neal) then battle the drug dealers for control of the streets. Also the heroes must tangle with Felix (Gary Busey), a stealthy and ruthless hitman. Written by veloc

On The Edge This is the story of the combat soldiers of Company C, Battalion 51 of the Golani Brigade who had fought on Mount Hermon on October 22 1973. After 30 years of silence they return to that night of battle - the conquest of Mount Hermon during the Yom Kippur War. They had not met all those years, and for the first time they put to words the horrors of the night they lost commanders, brothers in arms and a part of themselves as well. Years later they still have a score to settle about the battle, the feelings of helplessness that followed them on the mountain and through the rest of their lives, of death that was all around them and stayed embedded in their souls, and the heavy personal toll on each and every one of them. Up to now, these combat soldiers of Company C have not been accredited, as they should have been, with the conquest of Mount Hermon. This film reveals their story for the first time.

nathan: I know more about the business of suicide in my baby finger, than you do in all your years of training and Freud reading. I gurran-fuckin'-tee ya that.
nathan: See, Dr Figure was a no-medication type of guy and all the hard core suicidals in his group - now including myself - had agreed not to kill or harm themselves before January 1st. I mean, can you imagine someone dead, hanging from the light fixture in their room, thinking, If my doctor finds out about this, I'm FUCKED."
. Figure: What would you do if you were allowed home for the afternoon? nathan: [inhales] Get a decent cup of coffee then I'd chop me head off with a chainsaw. . Figure: Okay. Uh - uh, just one thing. I wanted to propose something. It's like a pledge between doctor and patient. We nominate a day, like three weeks from now - like New Year's Day - and you mustn't harm yourself until that day. You have to stick to it. What do you think about that? nathan: Yeah, I think it's a fuckin' ridiculous idea. . Figure: It's been known to work. nathan: It won't work. . Figure: Might. Why don't you think about it? nathan: Okay, hang on. arcastically] nathan: Um, I've thought about it. Fuck, you made a medical breakthrough. Well done, Doc. . Figure: Okay, well, we'll talk about it more after the session. nathan: Well, you've given me the will to live and I want to thank you for that. . Figure: Then, after that, I will show you the benefits of being more sparing with your sarcasm. Okay? See ya. nathan: Fuck you. eaves]
chel Row: It's beautiful here. nathan: Can't take all this on your own. chel Row: So you are all good now? Too many near death experiences you are beginning to think twice. nathan: You wanna know the truth? If it's a matter of life and death between people like you and me, then I want to outlive you. And I want to see what happens to you. 'Cause I like ya. chel Row: I don't know. nathan: What if we are still together in a year? chel Row: Would we be? nathan: I can see it happening. chel Row: I don't know. So do you think you love me? nathan: I know I love you.
. Figure: What's gonna happen to you? I can only help people who are really sick. And then half the time it doesn't work. Who's gonna help you?
fter Toby has killed himself] nathan: You can never really know what was going through a person's mind at that exact moment. If they survive, they'll never tell you. If they succeed, all you can do is spend the rest of your life feeling guilty. You're only concern can be for the people they leave behind. They're the ones to look out for.
. Figure: [to Jonathan] You're trembling
. Figure: [to Jonathan] Isn't it a relief to be alive?
