Uninspired acting and preposterous plotlines defuse Man on a Ledge's mildly intriguing premise.

The ledge gives Worthington a run for his money. The giddy thrill of the story - perched high above the milling genre stereotypes - was grounded long ago. Feb 2, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

This embraces its own lunacy readily enough, never aiming for anything more than the disposable thrills it delivers thick and fast. Jan 31, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This is one of the few movies that, with its skyscraper action scenes, probably needed to be made in 3-D. As it is, though, it's barely in 2-D - and really, I'm not sure it needed to be made at all. Jan 27, 2012 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

There's no escaping the sheer terror of a guy standing on a ledge that high up. "Man on a Ledge" delivers the sweats it intends to deliver. Jan 27, 2012 | Rating: B | Full Review…

When an action movie is as clumsy as "Man on a Ledge," it's begging to fall. Jan 27, 2012 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Though hardly taking the action thriller to new heights, Man on a Ledge certainly provides some genuine, vertigo-inducing fun. Dec 12, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Man on a Ledge effectively keeps viewers on the edge of their seats for much of its run time before eventually slipping into conventional cinematic territory. Aug 8, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Man on a Ledge certainly has its moments and if you don't take it seriously it's good B-grade fun, but considering the calibre of cast and its novel idea, it doesn't live up to its potential. Sep 11, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

They basically patch a narrative together by jacking the best moments from fun popcorn flicks like The Negotiator and Inside Man. Sep 1, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

As befitting the blunt dullness of the title, it manages the neat trick of being curiously watchable without ever crossing the line into remotely interesting. May 3, 2015

"I really liked this. I wasn't blown away with it, but it was close to being great. I enjoyed the story. I thought the way they planned it all was very smart. I was even surprised by the ending when their in the bar. I didn't catch on to who the bartender would end up being. I love a good crime thriller and this one delivers. I thought Worthington and Bell were really good in this. I wish Burns would have been used a little bit more. Kyra had a small part too, but it fitted. I love Ed Harris too. The movie has a wide range of good actors in the movie. I think without them the film would have failed. They story unfolds as it goes and I never felt lost. I guess your suppose to have an aha moment, but unfortunately some of the suspense was guessed pretty easily. But still this was one of the better thrillers I have seen lately. I would definitely see this again."

Not as bad as the reviews. It kept me interested.
A man (Sam) walks onto a hotel ledge, ready to jump. He is an ex-cop who escaped from prison to prove his innocence. Exciting thriller. Great cast. If you like Inside Man or Phonebooth you will like this movie.
