Al Filo Del Abismo

This was a pretty enjoyable movie, once the plot started on. The best thing about the movie was brittany ashtons role as kelly. She was well likeable and I rooted for her throughout the movie. Other cast were good to and I also liked the rock climbing sequences, because unlike most times, it actually seemed pretty realistic. Overall and enjoyable indie movie, but couldv'e been made better if the other characters had a bit more to them.

It's not quite "so bad it's.good" but so bad it's alright. You have to see the film for what it has to work with, small budget, newer actors and limited editing resources (you would assume). Bearing that in mind they have done pretty well with what they had, some acting is abit cheesy at times. But they keep it at a fair 1h 30m. You mentally judge this becuase your used to seeing blockbuster level work, but factor in "you got to start somewhere" it's an ok watchable film.

It certainly suffers visually at times from the film's obviously low budget. They simply did not have the money that they needed to pull off some of the script's more action-packed sequences, especially toward the end.

The actors are all satisfactory, but none of the performances stick out as being memorable.

What kept this film very much afloat for me was the compelling characterization established at the beginning that kept these people interesting to watch for the story's entirety.

Each of the three men is distinct in their attitude toward the crime their friend Josh commits, and I found myself really interested to see what they would do next and how they would adapt to their friend's psychopathic tendencies.

Josh, as a villain, was cold and truly sociopathic and intimidating. He's written better than the actor portrays him, but it all gets the job done.

The lead character, Kelly, has a past that makes us want to see her succeed, and she is smart and resourceful enough that I kept rooting for her through the whole thing, pumping my fist in the air whenever she got the upper hand.

The Ledge isn't a paragon of depth, nor is it especially well-crafted, but it's a solid, well-paced contained thriller with a little more meat than average on its lean bones.

This was rather bittersweet in terns of being a great thriller. On one hand you've got a great story, high tension, horrible villains, great cinematography ect...On the other hand you've got 3 bad actors, terribly cringeworthy lines and some serious face palm moments.

However, it still succeeds as an edge of your seat thriller despite it's bad points. With pretty much unknown actors and I assume shot with a lower than average budget it does work very well with and the intentions of the story pay off.

I'm not into thrillers, but I like climbing and I was keen to see some nice mountain scenes. I ended up liking it: acting, cinematography, editing, even the plot was good after a slow start. Definitely recommended.
