Nadine Salakov Man On A Ledge is watchable, but it could have been so much better, the Trivia says that Amy Adams was considered for the role as the negotiator - they should have called her agent! The actress who plays the negotiator isn't very good, maybe i'm being biased because i just don't like the actress, i don't like the way she talks in general, her character speaks to the guy like he's a child, she's one of the most weakest negotiators in the history of film and what is with the advice to "Visualise something positive" (he isn't an 11 year old getting bullied at school, he's on a damn ledge!) and her big hair doesn't help either, at least try to look a little bit professional and tie your hair back, they should have got Jodie Foster, Maggie Q or anyone else to play the negotiator, it would have been a much more entertaining film.The performances from the other actors are okay, the younger brother and the girlfriend are a clever couple of characters, however the writers or better still the editor could have excluded some of the dialogue (example the dialogue about her ex-lovers, is that even necessary to the movie whatsoever? the film is not even about them as a couple, it isn't a relationship comedy/drama, that piece of dialogue is pointless).Ed Harris is good in his supporting role, but he looks very ill and scrawny, last time i watched him was in the movie "Stepmom" he still looked old back then, but he didn't look sick.The plot is interesting, the film score is okay, nothing special, the cinematic colour theme compliments the movie and the New York scenery is very nice, some scenes are overwhelmingly shocking and that is when the main male character is jumping from roof to roof and roof to floor.The plot can get confusing, so watch it more than once if you don't get it, follow the film closely and you'll have your answers, i had to watch this flick more than once because the plot isn't straight forward and is very subtle at times.The plot is actually rare, so that is one thing unique about this motion picture.The song at the very end credits is awful, if you listen to the lyrics it's understandable why they used this song, but it's still terrible, a Kanye West track would've sounded better than this stale piece of music.

gugigor This movie seemed interesting at first but then you realize there's nothing to it. Man is on a ledge. Going to jump off. Heart-racing, on the edge of the chair, your sweat gathers on your forehead as you watch the man about to fall off. In the mean time, a crime-heist happens in the background, and the tension builds. So far so good. The man is still on the ledge. Your heart is racing but not as much as before, and you are tempted to lean back since he already survived. Your sweat starts too cool off, but you still think the crime-heist is good. Surely the movie is going to pivot point soon. Man is still on the ledge. Your heart is nearing back normal now. You're not sure where to be on the seat, and even the crime element isn't that thrilling--it has so many plot holes, you notice, that as entertaining as it tries to be, it can't hold on forever. Man on ledge. Your heart is perfectly fine. You're leaning back in your seat, and you are barely paying attention to the crime heist. You're hoping this movie will end soon. Man. Ledge. How many times have you seen this? Man. Ledge. When will this end? Man. Ledge. Man. Ledge. Man-- Finally, he gets off the ledge. Wow, it was all for nothing. And the ending is cheesy too. What a lame movie. Don't watch this movie, it's really lame and has too many plot holes. Plus, the man-ledge pumping gets boring eventually.

joelsmith190 Starring Sam Worthington (from Clash of the Titans and Terminator: Salvation) is a 2012 clever thriller film that leaves all other "clever" films in the dust.With a great story and great execution, this proves you don't have to be Michael Bay or some other big name to make a fantastic movie.You watch as Sam Worthington's character is framed for the theft of the Black Diamond, so he stands on a ledge and acts like he's going to jump, to distract everybody from his brother and his brother's girlfriend or fiancée or something breaking into the place where he was framed and trying to steal the Diamond to prove Worthington's innocence. A good cop goes on the ledge, not knowing he's the "guy who stole the Black Diamond" and tries to coax him off.I'm not telling anything else about the film, but the rest of it is really satisfying. It doesn't answer everything, but this calm blood-pumper is a great film, earning a 9/10 from me

Floated2 Man on a Ledge starring Sam Worthington was not much what I expected, which was a good thing. Having only seen the trailer a few times a while ago, and not revisiting it, my memory was not that stable. From my understanding the trailer does a great job at not showing too much information about the film (where as many trailers spoil a little too much). Man on a Ledge was a very solid action, thrill ride that kept you on your seat and interested where the story was heading. Sam Worthington does a great job as Nick, convincing as someone looking to commit suicide yet being able to stay level headed and not over the top. The supporting cast also does a fine job playing their parts, lead by Elizabeth Banks, Jamie Bell, Ed Harris, and Anthony Mackie. Nick being on the ledge is only part of the story but there is a reason as to why he does it, and a few bigger surprises come along the way. I found the film to be smarter than I had initially thought. I much so enjoyed its little twists as I was not expecting them. Many type of heist films such as this, people are very eagerly to criticize and look for "plot holes". Man of a Ledge does what is is set out to do, which is entertain, and for its runtime, it succeeds. Although the ending seemed a little off board, it was a great ride, yet not predictable.
