IMDB

The Edge, directed by Aleksei Uchitel is Russia's official submission to the Foreign Language Film category of the 83rd Academy Awards.  An entertaining and enjoyable film, though maybe a bit commercially oriented and full of Russian stereotypes.  Most memorably there are some brilliantly filmed train racing scenes.
