    A Simple Movie that Keeps You Entertain

    Five! Well, since the five early minutes, thiz movie has already set up the sharp action pace. It doesn't waste your time any longer. It takes you directly to the center of the story. How a desperate man steps out on a ledge of Manhattan Hotel to commit suicide. Why, what and who are told by flashback story-telling. Four! There are four key characters. First, Sam Worthington is the man on a ledge himself. Yes, we still hear his Australian accent, but it doesn't matter. He delivers a good and believable presence. We will be sweating along every time he moves around on the thin edge of the building. Elizabeth Banks is the police negotiator who interferes in thiz circumstance. Jamie "Tintin" Bell is the brother who conducts a heist on next building, with his sexy girlfriend Angie (Genesis Rodriguez). And Ed Harris is a powerful multi-billionaire who has a secret intention. It reminds me of those simple movies that keep you entertain until the last minute, just like in "Phone Booth" (2002), "Cellular" (2004), "Red Eye" (2005), you name it! I always love thiz kind of movie. Three! Yeah, there are three possibilities to end thiz situation. First, finally he doesn't jump and the end. Second, he jump and the end, or there will be unthinkable surprise for the ending, one way or another. And yes, you know in your heart it won't end so easily, there are lots of twists and turns waiting for you. You bet! The mystery will keep you guessing until the end. The movie is presented by first time Director Asger Leth. Two! There are two reasons to watch thiz movie. First is Sam Worthington. Two years ago, I told everyone that someday thiz man will be a great iconic star. And hey look now. It is the future! He sells the movie only by his name! People will easily cherish him, "Woo hoo, the man from 'Avatar' (2009)". Second, if you have watched the trailer before, I'm sure it would tickle your curiosity about what will happen next. One! Jump! Jump to thiz movie immediately, thiz movie is the one that you want to see.

    Not fabulous but better than I expected

    I had seen one preview for this film, and it didn't appeal to me at all. Even the title seemed completely unimaginative, like it was a shortened elevator pitch. However, I had a chance to see it as a sneak preview, and I thought, "Well, you can't go terribly wrong with Jamie Bell, Anthony Mackie, and Ed Harris, and I haven't seen Ed Burns in anything for awhile. Besides, it's free. What the heck?"

    Well, the movie was, on occasion, kind of ridiculous, and it had a typically predictable ending. Also, Sam Worthington couldn't maintain his American accent; whenever he started yelling, he sounded very Australian. Still, the movie has more strengths than weaknesses, and I even had a couple of gasps and then relieved relaxes. Certainly not the best action movie I've seen, but far from the worst either. It's a decent popcorn flick, a good option if you want a movie that isn't completely mindless but doesn't make your brain hurt either.

    I expected seeing a good movie ending seeing a great movie

    was looking forward to see this movie since i saw the trailers and now that I have seen.

    I thought it even better then it thought t be.

    This movie had me on edge of seat thought the movie, I had no idea what going to happen next.

    There was some very good tense scenes in this movie that really got me of seat and shouting at the TV.

    There were some really good twist and turns in this movie that I didn't see coming at all.

    I Thought the acting was really good from the whole cast and Extras too.

    I expected a good movie but ended up seeing a great movie

    8/10

    Exciting movie, worth the watch

    Man on a Ledge is a very exciting and refreshing movie.

    It is set in a very good scene, and has a really interesting story. Some things could have gone deeper, and other things could have been more developed.

    I gave it 7 out of 10, because it is not a movie that will be known throughout time, it has it qualities but in some ways it is not original enough for people to cherish it on a higher level.

    If you've been watching bad movies recently, you would love this one since it is a good addition to any movie collection, even though it could have been better.

    Man Climbs out to the Ledge for a Second Chance

    A distinguish gentleman checks into a hotel with a view, has a nice meal and before dessert arrives climbs out on the ledge. But why? The thriller Man on the Ledge takes you on a journey into a man who seeks to capture his innocence in crime he did not commit. We learn the jumper is a former cop and ex-con, Nick Cassidy (Sam, Worthington) who takes a leap of faith to clear his name fortunately police psychologist Lydia Mercer (Elizabeth Banks) sweeps in to unlock a forgotten past. Man on the Ledge is a suspense filled thriller that will keep you on edge for the truth of this twisted tale.

    This movie has a good story with not too much violence or profanity. It kept my interest and has some good special effects.

    • Trivia
      All of the wide shots of the actors on the ledge were real. Restraining cables were either hidden from camera view or edited out in post-production.
    • Goofs
      When the news helicopter starts blasting wind at the ledge, Mercer yells at Nick to hang on and calls him by the correct first name. He was going by Jay Walker and she didn't know his real name yet when she yelled it.
    • Quotes

      Nick Cassidy: First, cut the red wire.

      Angie: Red wire? They're all red wires!

      Joey Cassidy: Babe, pick the reddest one.
