Why not make it available? Why would you waste the efforts of the crew? Is it because you care more about profits and less about art? Come on imdb/amazon, at least let me ask a faq... tease.

I love westerns, even as shmaltzy as John Ford got, I still loved 'em. And I can even find things to like in the post-mod fun houses that Tarentino puts out. But this show is barely watchable unless you watch it PIP with "Blazing Saddles" at the same time. The violence is at times innovative but often gratuitous and just vulgar, the female characters are undeveloped, and could we please just put away the strong silent protag with a mysterious past. Toshiro Mifune did it best which is why Leone stole it, but put it in a jar labelled "Eastwood" and forget it. As with many modern westerns I wonder how they get made. The meeting scene near the end where landowners are getting orally served during the meeting, I think I get a clue what happened to fund this film. Worst of all, I can't believe Shane Black and not his pre-teen grandson wrote this script. Bad bad puns, unnecessary dialogue, tedious villains. Cmon, Shane. Was this a community service project to make up for parking tickets?

I must begin by first of all saying that I am a western fan and a huge fan of the "Edge" book series by George G Gilman. I have been hoping to see this character in movies for years and was shocked and ecstatic when i saw it on Amazon. Whilst some of the plot and characters unfortunately deviated somewhat needlessly from the books it was still an exciting ride through the old west of "Josiah C Hedges". The acting and direction were first rate and the on screen action gritty and bloody. Quite how a previous reviewer can put it down in comparison to Hell on Wheels and call it almost unwatchable is beyond me. I can only assume he as not watched very many westerns at all. Don't get me wrong i do not dislike Hell on Wheels but i often find it plodding and slow. If you like your westerns and you like the style of the "Good Bad and Ugly" then you should enjoy "Edge" Please do not be put off by the previous negative reviewer and give this Title a chance to grow and flourish as a Series.

It made HELL ON WHEELS look like UNFORGIVEN. It was free and I fast-forwarded through half of it, but it was still a deeply depressing experience as a western fan. To say this wasn't up to Shane Black's usual quality standards would be the understatement of the year. It was like a terrible NAKED GUN-style comedy spoof of a western they would have made in the 80s... But if it didn't realize it was a comedy.So, uh.... What exactly were they going for here?It wasn't even remotely close to being gritty enough to work as a real-world western (obviously!). It was goofy and silly, but not clever or funny, so it didn't work as a spoof of the genre. The OTT action wasn't cool or OTT ENOUGH to work on an insane-fun John Woo level. And it didn't seem to realize how deeply terrible it was, so it failed to even capitalize on working on a "so intentionally bad it's fun" level.So... A super-goofy-and-silly, yet oddly straight-faced-and-unfunny OTT western action show with sub-par action, terrible acting, and amateur cinematography? WHO WAS THIS MADE FOR?!! Certainly not any variety of western fan.Plus, a Shane Black movie without a single line of good dialogue? I thought I'd never see the day.... What a wasted opportunity.
