Excellent! Absolutely excellent! This movie will have you engrossed the minute you press play. It's absolutely an outstanding movie and I am going to watch it over and over again. You'd never suspect any of it. You'd never suspect why he's on a ledge, what his plan is, etc. It's so surprising and awesome! Go watch it please! You won't regret it! I promise |

Just Jump! |
|
While an ex convict, also a former cop, threatens everyone to jump from a Manhattan hotel and gets attention of every single person on the city, his brother is on the move to steel a highly-priced diamond.
***
Brilliant concept! I find it very original and a smart plot. Even if it only revolves around a guy (Sam Worthington) catching everyone's attention so that his brother (Jamie Bell) do the heist everyone unaware of, it made me sit up straight and anticipate everything that would happen. BUT, the downside was, as if the good concept ended up with unrealistic climax and conclusion. *SPOILER ALERT* Jump from tower to tower several feet away, really???
By the way, I should also mention I enjoyed watching Jamie Bell and his girlfriend. =P |

Chuckled Heist movie |
|
There are generally two kinds of movies. One is that which will entertain to the best that lacks a strong plot and great lead cast. Another is one with, a good plot and some terrific lead roles. Man on a ledge nearly made its pavement to make a gripping thriller, but just lost itself with too many characters and quick paced action. The plot totally was on diamond heist. Generally heist movies are considered to be thrilling due to set pieces and new mechanic abilities with various techniques of stealing. Gadgets involved in such kind of movies are always cool enough. But in man on a ledge, there are no attractive gadgets and neither attractive set pieces to build up a perfect heist movie. There are no awe moments in the movie except one single jump scene from adjacent building. Asger leth ... |

Review: Man on a Ledge |
|
I thought the movie started off pretty solid. Then, somehow, it shifted into something kinda dumb and it certainly wasn't saved by the tedious script and Sam Worthington's bad acting. It would probably entertain some people because it has its own way of trying to grab the audience's attention to the preposterous plot (because at my screening the audience were enthralled), but for me it was nothing more than decent. Most of the action sequences were well done and there were some aspects of it that got me interested (more in the beginning), but the characters were lifeless and didn't feel believable, which is obviously a huge failing. For its 102 minute duration, the film felt much longer than it should have. Man on a Ledge isn't a bad movie in any way, but their were parts of the film tha... |
