Rating: 2/5 --
Jonathan Jackson is about as Irish as a taco.

Murphy's characterization has both edginess and charm and it carries the film.

An Irish "Good Will Hunting" of sorts, but edgier (no pun intended).

A well-handled if well-worn look at the spectre of suicide and mental illness.

RTÉ (Ireland)
The pieces are all exceptionally well-cast -- credit producer Jana Sue Memel and casting directors Mary Margiotta and Karen Margiotta -- and none outstays its welcome, which is the great advantage of short films.

Product Description:
When 19-year-old rebel Jonathan Breech (Cillian Murphy)--suffering from depression after the death of his father--attempts suicide by driving a stolen car off a cliff, he is given the choice of going to prison or being committed to a psychiatric institution. Jonathan chooses the hospital, where he begrudgingly attends group therapy, clashes with a well-meaning doctor (Stephen Rea), and eventually finds hope with a new friend (Jonathan Jackson) and a love interest (Tricia Vessey). ON THE EDGE is an intense coming-of-age drama from Irish director John Carney and boasts a standout performance by up-and-comer Murphy.
