It can be said that the film "On the Brink" is a super-luxury lineup from the production staff to the actors, which is one of the reasons why it was included in the list of the most anticipated films in 2002.
The main actor Denzel Washington does not need to be introduced. The black actor who won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Glory" has been on the screen in recent years: "Human Bone Puzzle", "Remember the Titans), "Hurricane", and "Training Day" are all starred by him.

However, perhaps it is not her acting skills that people are more interested in, but the separation and reunion of her and her homosexual and heterosexual couples.

Nick inherited his father's talent and is also an all-rounder capable of both directing and acting. At the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, Nick's "She"s So Lovely" directed by his father's script, won the best actor award for Sean Penn; as an actor, Cassaveitz participated The performances of films such as Eddie Murphy's "Life", Johnny Depp's "Astronaut's Wife", Wu Yusen's "Changing Face" and other films can be described as a double harvest of both directing and acting.
With such a strong cast and crew lineup, "On the Brink" should actually be a strong contender for the Oscars in 2001. But somehow, the distributor dragged the film's premiere date to February, so at this time in 2003, the Oscar judges might have long forgotten "Immortal".
