There's Doc (Nick Nolte), a handsome, lazy scientist: "the seer," a dotty wise-man-of-the-sea type: and Mac and his boys, a bumbling gang of filthy but lovable squatters that Ward milks for all the slapstick...

Jonathan Kaplan's Over the Edge follows the narrative line of earlier "teen gang" pictures-from idleness to violence, for no other reason than for something to do-but has a special kick. Here are boys and girls 12, 13, 14, precociously aping their elders. It makes the climax, in which they demolish the local high school, as chilling as any thing...
