Reviews
"Riding the Edge" has been met with generally negative critiques, reflected in its low IMDb rating of 4.2/10. Critics often point to the film's somewhat predictable plot and uneven pacing. For example, IMDb user reviews cite problems with the screenplay and character development, making it difficult to fully engage with the story. However, some appreciation has been given to Raphael Sbarge's performance and the visceral motorcycle chase sequences, which provide an element of excitement and energy. The film lacks robust critical coverage on major aggregator sites such as Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, where it is either unlisted or has insufficient reviews for a consensus. While not a standout in the genre, "Riding the Edge" may appeal to viewers interested in late 1980s action thrillers with a motorcycle culture angle, though expectations should be tempered regarding its overall cinematic quality.
