On the Edge (2014)
7/10
Good but could be much better.

'Lev stærkt (Live strong)' promoted it self as being a followup movie for 'Råzone (Raw Zone)'.

With this promise my expectations where high, because 'rå zone' was an amazing, violent, very well played movie. I saw it in 2006 and a couple of times later. Last time was in 2008 and i still remember many scenes very clearly in my head.

'Lev stærkt' did not at all live up to my expectations.

'Lev stærkt' is about street racing, young love and the consequences of killing a young girl during a high speed race through the streets of Copenhagen in a Corvette super car.

It's about living with your self, knowing you killed this girl driving 150 km/hour in the inner city streets at 03.00 am on a Sunday morning and getting away with it.

But even though my expectations where not meet, i do not regret seeing this movie. It is a good movie if you just want to see cool cars, good looking girls, hear how 500 house powers sounds in 5.1 Dolby digital and don't expect to much from the story line.

The acting is well executed, but the story is just not strong enough to cary the movie to a higher level. Some might say it's a bit boring.

Expect little and you will leave the cinema feeling the movie was forgettable (unlike 'Gråzone') but not at all a bad movie.
