man on a ledge has a title that pretty much explains its central premise: escaped convict nick cassidy (sam worthington) re - surfaces in an expensive manhattan hotel, and suddenly steps out onto the ledge outside his window. at first it seems that nick is intent on ending his life, but a series of curious decisions (as well as an unusually composed demeanor for a potential jumper) lead disgraced police negotiator lydia mercer (elizabeth banks) to discern that this mysterious jumper is actually a part of something much bigger .

man on a ledge is oddly miscast for a film of its stature - and by that i mean a lineup of solid performers working with some pretty undeserving material. sam worthington is still not the best leading man, and that' s not entirely a matter of acting. his hairdo in the film certainly doesn' t help invite the eye. elizabeth banks, conversely, is a likable screen presence, and brings a bit of sharp levity to her part - though her

while the plot summary presents some clichés and an unimaginative plot –starting with the title– with the right twists and surprises, man on the ledge had the potential of being a great edge - of - your - seat film, especially with the talented elizabeth banks and ed harris starring. unfortunately, any plot twists this movie throws at us we had already seen coming a mile away .

man on a ledge is fun if you want to play the plot hole game. he never thought to get a room on the other side of the building? was bringing lots of policemen within a block of his brother robbing someone, really a good idea? although she looks good in her date night pink panties and push up bra, would it not have been more convenient for angie to just wear that cat suit to the robbery instead of carrying it with her when she rappels down an elevator shaft and changing into it during a rushed robbery? when the police try to get a finger print in the room, to discover who the man on the ledge is, none of them think to check the open window' s pane, that he did not wipe off? how do they think he got out there? how was a bar owner / bartender able to fake his own death? it would require the cooperation of many official people and the breaking of even more laws .

man on a ledge is directed by asger leth (ghosts of cite solei l), from an original screenplay written by pablo f. fenjves (“the affair”) and erich hoeber & jon hoeber, and is being produced by lorenzo di bonaventura and mark vahradian (transformers & transformers: revenge of the fallen). executive producers are david ready (red) and jake myers (red) .
every plot point in man on a ledge is pretty cliched and foreseeable, and the film ends up getting by on the inertia of tension and suspense. that is to say: you' ll probably see what' s coming, but watching it play out is still somewhat enjoyable. as events unfold, the implausibility of the entire situation only increases, and by the time that nick cassidy' s fate is decided, the story has pretty much gone off the rails .

man on a ledge is a cheesy, plot - hole riddled, cliché - filled, b - movie, heist thriller. as my brothers already pointed out, the reason nick climbs out on that ledge is pretty stupid, as is the equally implausible burglary going on across the street. like scott said, who' s brilliant idea was it to steal a diamond in order to prove you didn' t steal it? i mean what was their original plan once the diamond was stolen? i don' t see how turning it over to the authorities would prove nick' s innocence. “oh, by the way here' s that diamond that i didn' t steal. ” wtf! ? (spoiler alert) how fortuitous (not to mention convenient) that nick was able to grab the diamond out of englander' s pocket right in front of thousands of witnesses and television reporters .

visually the film isn' t too bad, with asger leth showing solid chops for basic film construction as well as action. a lot of the heist sequences manage to create some good tension, and the editing of kevin stitt (cloverfield, the kingdom, x - men) is smart enough to keep things moving at a good pace without letting the mind settle for too long - which is the only way this movie functions at all. as mentioned, so much of what happens in man on a ledge doesn' t hold up under even a second of critical thought, so the fact that watching it all play out has even a semblance of enjoyment to it is somewhat of a minor miracle in and of itself .

on the indian summer night of nov. 14, 1959, two criminals visited this haunting geography. with a knife and a 12 - gauge shotgun, they robbed and murdered a man and his wife and their son and daughter. the deed filled the scene. it echoed through the lives of all who lived nearby, rushing toward some appalling, mysterious point of psychic infinity. it made haggard men out of the guardians of order. eventually through a fluke almost as gratuitous as the killing itself, they captured the murderers. on an april night last year, as rain beat on the roof, the two were hanged in a chilly warehouse in the corner of the yard of the kansas state penitentiary at lansing .

man on a ledge is one of those b - movie single - setting thrillers that is so riddled with holes and logical inconsistencies that the pulling of any one plot thread will quickly unravel the whole show. luckily, director asger leth keeps each scene in the film loaded with enough action and movement that it manages to hold the viewer' s interest - at least until it becomes apparent that script writer pablo f. fenjves doesn' t have that many tricks up his sleeve .
scott, your question ,
why was he out on that ledge ?
is a valid one. as my son and i left the theater we discussed that very subject. he stated that nick was on the ledge to create a distraction from the explosion on the other roof top. i made the point that since it was on the roof, the only people who could have possibly seen it would be people high up in other buildings, such as the police negotiator that nick personally asked for. nick was so stupid in this set up that he even places himself in a location so that when the negotiator pokes her head out the window to talk to him, she is facing the same direction as the building being robbed. however, if you look closely, she conveniently has her head down when the explosion occurs. now that is some awesome planning .

this film has some pros, but many cons. gal gadot crushes the action sequences as expected, but this film constantly plays one of three hands: one as a comedy with gadot as a socially unaware amazon stumbling through a new world, a second as a super hero story in which the villain is vague, not as formidable as he is built up to be, and unconvincingly portrayed by an old man who has no business fighting gal gadot, and a third hand as a forced romance between gadot and pine. while both actors perform well, the writers really let them down on the comedy, action and romance fronts. while this may be the best dcu movie i have seen, it' s probably the last dcu movie i will see .
the cast does the best they can with the script, although every character is a walking cliché and the outcome is as predictable as they come. the pacing, editing and cinematography are quite good. the actors were really out on that ledge in most of the long shots. the harnesses they were wearing for safety were edited out of the movie in post production .

the experience of his book tour to russia definitely feeds his construction of the ukrainian mob that' s hounding nate overbay. but in a deeper sense, nate' s journey from standing literally on the edge of a lifetaking event, to reconstructing the ideal of family, is itself informed by gregg' s unique take on embeddedness. it' s the deeper story about a mind at work on and at play in the world, and how that mind refuses to simply reel in pain away from trauma caused by its own interaction with the world .
an ex - cop turned con threatens to jump to his death from a manhattan hotel rooftop. the nearest new york police officer immediately responds to a screaming woman and calls dispatch. more officers arrive with swat and tactical command along with fire - fighters. the police then dispatch a police psychologist personally requested to talk him down from the ledge. however, things aren' t as they seem .
this drama defies reason, logic and explanation but it can' t defy gravity and ultimately falls flatly on its face .

on the top floor of a new york hotel, a former cop orders one last meal from room service and then, opening the window, steps out onto the side of the building, inches away from a deadly fall to the busy street below. despite appeareances, this is no suicide attempt, but instead the beginning of a mystery that begins to unravel with an ensemble cast of players .
the idea of embeddedness first entered into the popular imagination during the early days of the iraq war. following on from shock & awe, we entered into a phase of boots - on - the - ground. those were heady days. we saw media access to a far greater degree than with earlier wars, to a point where reporters were actually

across the street, a cop named jack dougherty (edward burns) arrives in the hotel room to talk down the jumper. soon he' s replaced by an nypd psychologist named lydia mercer (elizabeth banks). down below, on cue, the crowd chants jump! jump! while hoping to film the death on their iphones and pick up some change from

having recently escaped from prison, disgraced nypd detective nick cassidy (worthington) checks into the midtown manhattan hotel, and, after ordering room service, promptly climbs out of his window and onto that tight ledge .
wow. could you have sounded any more like a child? yes. you could have used baby talk and you could have gotten pouty. it' s not a matter of bad - assery on whether someone would give you specifically a special version of this score. you, of many people, ought to know that by now .
you say that all sounds plausible to you? ok. but here' s what i doubt. you know those big air mattresses that firemen inflate to break falls from high places? do you believe that when it becomes urgent for nick to be at street level right now, he would take a deep breath, get a running start on the ledge, jump into thin air and land safely after his fall of 21 floors? that' s where i draw the line .

but hold on. what we have here is a master plan that absolutely depends on nick (1) being released for the funeral, (2) escaping two armed guards, (3) getting safely into manhattan, (4) checking into a room on the correct floor and side of the hotel and (5) not falling off the ledge prematurely, which would not only kill him but spoil the whole plan. and meanwhile, joey and angie have to find the world' s largest diamond, which is not where it' s supposed to be. maybe it has been disguised as a diamond - plated ferrari? no, that was
tower heist .
and there also has to be time for the tv reporter to sum up the meaning of everything and bring about the happy ending.
