Beautiful, moving film.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Honestly I have no idea where to start with this disaster of a movie. Pedestrian writing and dialogue? Check. Little to no character development? Check. Ridiculous plot? Check. Sam Worthington's accent was atrocious (incidentally his acting was too but I digress...). Elizabeth Banks was given horribly sophomoric, predictable dialogue that even she couldn't make work. And no one else is worth mentioning. Skip this one on Netflix and head straight for the 90's classic "The Negotiator" with Samuel L Jackson and Kevin Spacey (before he was exposed as a total creep).

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.

Man on a Ledge. What a ridiculous name for a movie. And ridiculous is exactly what it is, albeit a story that's as wobbly as Worthington's accent. Nicky Cassidy's (Worthington) an escaped convict whose suicide attempt in front of tens of people on the streets of New York distracts the public from a ludicrous heist that his brother (Jamie Bell) and his brother's girlfriend (Genesis Rodriguez) are carrying out. They're after a prized diamond, to prove to the world of Nick's innocence. Man on a Ledge is an amusing watch, even if it breaks our suspension of disbelief. The suspense is equaled by stupidity, with the cast, including Elizabeth Bank's negotiator, Ed Burns' detective and Anthony Mackie's lawyer stretched out. Other cast members look as if they're enjoying themselves; Bosch main man Titus Welliver revels in being a jerk, whilst Ed Harris's villain should have more screen time. They make MoaL worth the while.

The movie contains some ridiculous scenes.For instance I didn't quite understand the humor going on between Joey and Angie in that serious and dangerous situation they were in!! This itself drew my attention away from the seriousness of the movie and how thrilling the movie should have seemed to viewers!!Expected a better and more professional movie!I found the story similar to "16 Blocks" . Man On A Ledge is not a waste of time. Worth watching at least once! but I liked "16 Blocks" more than this one; The cast and everything.I personally gave 6 stars for this one and 10 stars to for 16 Blocks.
