Self-explanatory...Sam Worthington..Man On A Ledge
It's an interesting concept - a man on a ledge - will he jump, won't he? This film grasps the concept but doesn't really work with it. It's edgy, suspenseful, and ridiculous but enjoyable all the same. Sam Worthington plays an ex-cop Nick Cassidy, wrongly accused of pinching a diamond off tycoon, David Englander (Ed Harris). Pretending to be a "jumper" he gets New York's attention while his younger brother, Joey and his street-wise girlfriend (Jamie Bell and Genesis Rodriguez) try and steal the diamond to prove that Nick never stole it in the first place. While all this unconvincing pandemonium occurs, the negotiator (Elizabeth Banks), tries to convince Nick not to jump. It's very confusing, but fun stuff. Ed Burns chips in as a friend of Bank's. As they say, "suspend your disbelief" when viewing this film.
