What an extreme example of miscasting. Bill Murray keeps doing his thing: a series of cynical, lazy gazes that even in comedies are no funny at all, let alone in this attempt to drama. The razor's edge is the kind of story that needs very masterful acting in order to be convincing and not look dated. It was painful to see such a dignified story transvestited into his "efforts" to look troubled and complex. It seems that even his colleagues were not taking him seriously!!! His "acting" is way below any criticism. Catherine Hicks is also a weak actress and contributes nothing to help the disaster. Exceptions are Theresa Russel as Sophie and Denholm Elliot as E. Templeton, but the final result is still unwatchable.
