But Larry learns that the path to enlightenment is as difficult as treading "the sharp edge of a razor" and returns to civilization, where he tastes life's dark side when he tries to save a hometown girl turned prostitute (Theresa Russell). The provocative story and Murray's brilliant acting make The Razor's Edge an extraordinary film that cuts a clear path to the heart.
