The Razor's Edge Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Judy Stone
Murray turns in a mixed performance. He's fine when he relaxes and shows his appreciation for the humorous side of life, but he just looks shell-shocked when he is supposedly having a mystical experience.
Detroit Free Press
Catharine Rambeau
Comedian Bill Murray's first attempt at dramatic acting has serious flaws.
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
An adaptation of the novel by W. Somerset Maugham, this longtime pet project of Murray's will only disappoint his many fans.
Mediasharx
Caffeinated Clint
A gratifying gamble for the immersive Bill Murray
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Razor's Edge is far from being a bad movie. Some of the scenes are very good, especially the uncle's deathbed farewell and Murray's first attempts to sober up Russell. But at the end I didn't feel engaged.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Dismal misfire by Murray trying early on for drama accolades
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Sincere try, but even with censorship issues, the 1946 version was better.

Scott Weinberg
The Razor's Edge may be a truncated and somewhat episodic adaptation, but it's certainly compelling enough to keep you involved for a solid two hours.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
Murray provides an interesting performance; the movie grows on you.
Apollo Guide
Kevin N. Laforest
Were it paced more smoothly, and if the lead character's spiritual search was developed instead of just hinted at, this could have been a great film.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An American's quest for the meaning of life takes him from Iowa to Tibet to discover the spiritual practices of equanimity, atttention, and compassion.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
"Don't write that book report to it, just enjoy its eccentricities."
