Saw it an hour ago and enjoyed it a lot. Maybe the fact that there was constant danger of someone falling off the ledge that added to the suspense factor, but all in all - a thoroughly enjoyable crime-suspense movie. Not going to win an Oscar but really - who cares.
sharei just got back from the movie and i also thourougly enjoyed it. i was literally on the edge of my seat. my theater agreed, as there was clapping in certain parts. its not an oscar movie, but its not meant to be so i dont know why thats what people on this board are expecting. its meant to entertain and thats exactly what it did.
ive found imdb boards dont really reflect the opinions of the outside world anyway though. lol
Me too, I really got into the film and was on the edge of my seat for the last 15 minutes or so, the whole theater gasped during the big "jump". Wonder if Worthington did all his own stunts.
shareAgreed. Seen it twice already, enjoyable flick with good performances by Banks, Worthington, Bell, Mackie & Rodriguez.

I agree! Such a great movie. I really don't understand why everyone is hating on it.
shareThanks for the input - I want to go see it tomorrow. As for the Oscars I have seen ONE of the movies/actors up for oscars. I must have very low taste in movies - lol.

I loved it, and will probably see it again. It was a great thriller, with good actors and some surprising twists.

Ok - I saw it today and really liked it. Probably will see it again. I really wonder what all those other people saw who hated it. It wasn't oscar material - sure. But really enjoyable. Of course, I come here all the time and wonder if the people here saw the same movie I did.

Yay, a board of people who are positive and likeable!
Saw it this evening and enjoyed it too.
Don't know why I come to read these message boards when I know they're going to be filled with such negativity.

A lot of immature posters.

Yeah there must be another film by the same title because I had a lot of fun with "Man on a Ledge". It's a great little film with some great twists. The brother's girlfriend played by Genesis Rodriguez stole the show. I was lucky enough to come in without knowing more than was in the trailer. It's sad all the reviewers seem determined to tell spoilers. Don't read reviews just see it, it's worth your time. It's the only film I've seen in a long time in a theater that I felt was worth my time. I've read complaints that the story was improbable. Come on, name one film in the last ten years that wasn't improbable? Excellent script, great cast, a lot of fun. If you need more than that from a film it's called Citizen Kane.
shareI and the Screening audience really liked it.

I liked it too. It was a lot better than I thought it'd be.
