Man on a Ledge Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
courtneyjamesion Honestly I have no idea where to start with this disaster of a movie. Pedestrian writing and dialogue? Check. Little to no character development? Check. Ridiculous plot? Check. Sam Worthington's accent was atrocious (incidentally his acting was too but I digress...). Elizabeth Banks was given horribly sophomoric, predictable dialogue that even she couldn't make work. And no one else is worth mentioning. Skip this one on Netflix and head straight for the 90's classic "The Negotiator" with Samuel L Jackson and Kevin Spacey (before he was exposed as a total creep).
Corey James This movie is epic I was on the edge of my seat while watching this. Sam Worthington plays Nick Cassidy in this crime thriller. I was speechless I had my my hands on my chin wondering what will happen next. This is one of my favourite movies. I recommend anyone to watch it.I watched it from start to finish without pausing because I wanted to see what will happen next. When it ended I thought to my self "Is that it?" Watch this film the end it will leave you wanting more.the end.
L R Maybe this movie would get 7/10 if it were made 20 years ago. I don't know maybe I have seen too many movies, but there was nothing fresh, and it was kinda boring and at times not believable. I'm not talking action scenes not being believable, I am OK with that. The normal drama scenes were the problem. Elisabeth Banks didn't do a very good job in my opinion. She is beautiful though.The ending of the movie is like what??!?It's good, but that was so lucky it's not even funny. I was wondering all along what the plan is, to reveal Ed Harris is a fraud.Their original plan could not work. What would Sam's brother and his girl do if they found the diamond in the place where it was supposed to be? No one would believe them. They could plant it there! Like what was the plan!!??And so, that plan fails , and then another plan fails, and then, plan C that could not be possibly predicted works great, and is probably the only possible way that all this stuff could work.Well in the end at least it worked.The movie actually wasn't that bad. It was just OK. And had some problems. Mainly though, I just wish the actors and casting did a better job. The only great role was Ed Harris.This movie is so so. Has some watchable moments, but it just doesn't click. Maybe I could give it 6/10 , but 5/10 is fair.
wildandcrazygal The movie was okay for most of it, then it took a turn. I'm so sick of modern writers. They write a character who is supposedly so smart that he can outsmart everybody and get the diamond, but not smart enough to realize that giving the diamond back means nothing, they're all dead anyway because men like that don't let people live. Lazy writing makes me want to find out where the writers live, fly, take a train, or whatever how many days it takes to get there, go to their house, knock on their door and punch the writers in the face when they answer the door for being lazy, inept idots using lame plot devices and not staying true to characters they spent time building and wasting our time with drivel. The characters spend all this time getting the diamond to prove his innocence but they have no end game. Seriously, they didn't plan this out. I'm no writer but just off the top of my head in thirty seconds I can come up with they could have had cameras with them broadcasting live to the internet when he returned to his office with the diamond proving he had it all along. They could have used their guns to walk him down to the street and make him reveal on camera to the hundreds of people waiting and the news crews that he had it all along. I'm not even a writer and I came up with two way more plausible outcomes than the hacks who wrote this did and I did it in seconds. You would suppose they had months to write it but the best they could come up with for a man they wrote as so intelligent that he could outsmart everyone, get out of prison, recover the diamond, set off an explosion while nobody notices, keep the public eye on him the whole time, he's that brilliant, but so they can have an action scene, they suddenly write this character they've portrayed as so bloody brilliant as the stupidest moron on earth with no exit plan. The hacks who wrote this should never get another job.
