An ex-cop turned con (Sam Worthington) threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The nearest New York Police officer immediately responds to the screams of a female witness and calls dispatch. A female police psychologist is personally requested to talk him down from the ledge in order to avoid causing a scene below. However, things aren't as straightforward and clear-cut as they appear to be.
Latest Review
A generic but still entertaining thriller
What I loved most: Sam Worthington
What I really hated: cliched plotlines you can see a mile coming
Man On The Ledge is exactly what it is. A generic, passable but still entertaining thriller buoyed by its rather sporting ensemble cast led by the ever reliable and totally charasmatic Sam Worthington.The plot has that been-there-seen-that kinda plot which unfortunately you can see a mile coming. The premise is a little implausible (especially when the crowds began to chant for Sam Worthington's character to jump?!) but thankfully there is one or two little neat twists that kept the movie from becoming just a run of the mill thriller. Sam's character does finally jump(!) but it's not what everyone expected(!!) and that's why you should STILL go catch this movie! ;-)
