To be fair, some reviews of it were much harsher than it deserves, but it is a movie that doesn't deserve to be watched. Two characters with the most prominent roles are probably the most irritating characters in recent memory. The plot is highly improbable and the action is dull. Sam Worthington can't be blamed for how bad the movie is, but he does not do much to salvage it. His back story? Same story as the one in Terminator: Salvation. I've seen this movie before, with all its cliches and dull twists. I promise you, it is not worth it.… Expand

An infuriatingly unoriginal and bland caper film where we have seen every single plot twist before and in better movies where character pathos mattered just enough to keep us invested emotionally.

About five minutes in is how long my attention was kept. The majority of the plot is milked so thin that, I bet if all ideas had been thrown on the table and executed fast enough to keep us on our toes, the movie would only have been about 40 minutes long. It's like drinking a soda that is heavily watered down - it tastes mild, with only a few traces of the original drink caught on the taste buds. There is a lot of acting talent wasted here too. Sam Worthington, Ed Harris, Elizabeth Banks, Jamie Bell, and Kyra Sedgwick are all unable to save the movie from sub-mediocrity. In short (I shouldn't have devoted this much time to writing a review on something I despise so much) 'Man on a Ledge' is basically what you would expect from a January release. It might even be a little worse.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a terrible film. It begins with an interesting premise but soon descends into complete absurdity. I couldn't bring myself to watch many parts of the film due to excessive cringing, especially the bar scene at the end with the proposal. To make matters work, the acting was at best mediocre and anyone with a brain cell will tire of this film very quickly. Don't waste your time or money watching this!… Expand

A movie asking, over and over, to suspend belief in ways that aren't fun. Even the coincidences have coincidences! Does everyone really have to dance at the end these days?

Man on a ledge was slightly
more bearable then my last root canal.
It's like listening to the first Gatecrasher album
you just listen to get to the end,
never enjoying a moment's clarity.

Horrible Script with some good action- no empathy possible and without any suspension
