A bit of easy watching for a Tuesday night. Man on a Ledge wasn't a film I've seen before and I don't think it's something I'll be in a hurry to watch again - unless I catch it on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Not a terrible film, by any means, but a little too predictable for my liking. The premise is simple - a police detective tries to talk an escaped prisoner down from a ledge, not knowing that he is on the ledge to distract from a heist. However, by twenty minutes in we had already guessed exactly how things were going to go down.
Sam Worthington's US accent deserves special recognition for barely existing, a flaw that became more pronounced in scenes with Jamie Bell, whose accent was solid throughout.
Still, by no means the worst film about a ledge that I've seen in recent years.
