There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Man on a Ledge is truly a terrific film it starts as a suicide movie and turns into an action thriller which keeps you at the edge of your seat and you really want to see what is going to happen next. Also William Sadler and Sam Worthington look like father and son a little bit and Ed Harris gives a great performance as the bad guy also Elizabeth Banks is amazing. Some of the stunts were also real and Harris gave a big bravo to Sam for doing them. If you like good action movies that they have an actual plot and a good acting you will definitely find enjoying this movie. I give it a 10 out of 10 because watching Jake Sully jumping from a rooftop is always awesome!!!

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

I liked this movie and was kinda surprised by all the bad reviews. I think what I liked the most was that this was a different sort of story than I'd seen before, at least in the first 40 minutes.Sam Worthington plays Nick Cassidy a cop turned fugitive threatening to jump from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. As an NYPD psychologist works to talk him down she learns that he may have a hidden motive for taking his own life as the biggest diamond heist ever committed is in motion and things aren't what they seem.I'm one of those people who enjoys a movie where you have to figure stuff out and initially this is a huge guessing game as you have no clear idea what is going on or why 'Nick' is doing what he's doing. His story is slowly revealed and unfortunately this gets very clichéd the further along we go, including a super happy ending that was a bit much. Jamie Bell plays his brother and (as per) is excellent, getting the N.Y accent perfect which I can"t say for Worthington who struggled with his. A fun original thrill ride with great secondary characters including Ed Harris. 9/15/14

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.
