WHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! OHHHHHH MY SAM WORTHINGTON AIN"T YOU GOT THE WORST OF LUCK!
Then again.....Nice paycheck though. KA-CHING!
I honestly will say it was nice to watch a movie whose story was so full of plot holes that you think the movie would spring a leak but then again it kept you guessing every step of the way.
Man On A Ledge starring Sam Worthington as Nick Cassidy plays a former ex-cop whose convicted for a robbery he didn't commit . So to clear his name he must spring himself prison to come up with a plot to get back at the ones who've done him wrong .
In the beginning the movie had me fooled because the main character bursts out of Sing Sing like some violent inmate going on a rampage checks into a luxurious Manhattan hotel , and has his last meal, and sets up a plot to end his reign of terror his way! OR does he?
It's just when I thought that he was some lowly criminal at the end of his rope , a guy with nothing more to life for just beyond the corner Jamie Bell and the Latina-licious Genesis Rodriguez have plans to get their heist on this big honker DIAMOND!
Now I was at this point watching with my Dad thinking "HMMM GEEE....things aren't what they seem in Suicide Land now are they?".
The diamond that Team Bell and Rodriguez are stealing comes from
none other than richman tycoon David Englander played by Ed Harris
whom Cassidy supposedly stole it from............OR DID HE?
Baffling questions, astounding questions begin to arise as to who stole what from and who framed who.
When you see Cassidy clinging to life you wonder why is he going to such extremes and whether or not any of this and the robbery tie together . In the end in a carefully drawn out screenplay by Pablo F Fenjves the suicide attempt is a masterful ploy for an even greater chain of events that moves the story along .
In the end Man On A Ledge withholds information to quest our thirst for more and that is one of my favorite old time action recipes.
FINAL RATING:
5/5
