The Ledge

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.

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.

But only if you're really bored and have nothing better to watch. You will also have to be able to suspend disbelief, especially if you have any knowledge of mountain climbing, because that area of expertise was clearly overlooked by the filmmakers for any level of realism. You might be ok if you've done some indoor wall climbing a few times.

Finally, you will also have to put up with more plot holes than the cliches, overacting, ridiculous dialogue and the entirely predictable narrative. On the bonus side, there were some true tense scenes, a decent score and excellent cinematography. The pacing was also fairly decent so that all the good and bad fit comfortably in the short 86 min runtime.

The actors are terrible, the script is ridiculous, the editing is messy.

Nevertheless, i give it 4 stars because i like free climbing and there are some nice mountain shots. And there is tension.

This is not a good movie, it is often unintentionally funny but it is also somewhat amusing. If you are seeking for some mindless fun, there is a chance you won't regret watching this.

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.
