"Man On A Ledge" by Yojimbo
Yojimbo - wrote on 10/07/14
A cop convicted of stealing a priceless diamond feigns a suicide attempt as part of a plan to clear his name. The title of Man On A Ledge gives you some idea of just how little imagination the entire film contains. Every character is a stereotype, every line of dialogue is a cliche, every corny plot device is recycled in what is nothing more than a post Michael Bay conveyor belt Hollywood action thriller by numbers. Stars Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks are both feeble, heading a singularly uninspiring cast including Jamie Bell who slums it as the safe and wise cracker and Genesis Rodriguez (!) who supplies the token hot latina T&A. There is literally nothing here that you won't have seen a dozen times before and the whole thing is like a grindingly workmanlike feature-length episode of Prison Break from when it was well past its sell by date.
