Man On A Ledge
Film Synopsis
Ex-cop Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) becomes a convict for stealing a diamond from one of the most powerful man in the world. After escaping from prison, Nick decides he needs to get attention and proclaim his innocence, so what better way but to jump to his death from the Roosevelt Hotel rooftop in New York City. With witnesses on the scene, cops and SWAT teams arrive on scene and give their utmost attention to Nick. While police psychologist Lydia Mercer (Elizabeth Banks) tries to talk Nick into coming back inside the hotel, something else is in the works behind the scene.
My thoughts on the film
Going into ‘Man On A Ledge’, I actually had high hopes for this movie. Yes, the concept seems kind of boring and sure, you probably know what’s going to happen, but I stuck with my gut instincts and I’m glad I did. ‘Man On a Ledge’ starts off a bit slow, but then it picks up steam about 20-25 minutes in. For a bunch of ‘B’ list actors, I thought the whole cast did a great job. From Sam Worthington to Kyra Sedgwick, each actor had a story and they played it well. One actress that stood out and I think most men will agree with me and I’m sure the women will too, is Genesis Rodriguez. I’m telling everyone right now, move to the side Megan Fox, there’s a new poster girl. It’s hard to miss her bright pink bra and her breasts taking up half of the screen. Oh, and let’s not forget the part where she is in her bra and panties, jumping up and down trying to get into a diving suit. But, enough about her. The storyline is a bit predictable, but the way it all comes down and pieces together is what really drives this movie.
Rating 3.5/5
‘Man On A Ledge’ is definitely one of those movies that puts a smile on your face at the end and you nod your head in agreement saying, “Yeah, that was pretty good.” It’s another Hollywood film that has some entertainment value, some good action and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. If that’s what you want out of a movie, then you’ll be satisfied at the end.
'Man On A Ledge' opens this Friday, January 27th. Check your local theatre for showtimes.
