THE REVIEW:
I had the chance of catching a late viewing of Man on a Ledge and I'm happy to say I had a thrilling time watching it. This movie had me on the edge of my seat, especially the shots of Cassidy (Worthington) on the ledge of the hotel. The cinematography shows really well because the camera angles kept letting us know how far up this building he is. He was just a man who wanted to prove he was innocent for a crime he was convicted for by actually committing the crime the world thinks he had already committed (hope thats understandable). This is what thriller movies should be about, a good storyline with great acting. Its not the most original story ever but the way it plays out is fun to watch.The twist and turns the storyline takes added to the entertainment value and I didn't see some of it coming. The plot holes are easily spotted by the naked eye but I'm sure people wont mind that much, it is the Hollywood way. (nothings ever perfect)
OVERALL: GOOD THRILLER.
THE REVIEW:
When I saw the trailer for this film, I first thought it had the Phonebooth look to it (Colin Farrell film). I was not too sure why but whatever it was this looked entertaining.

(nothings ever perfect)I liked the fact this movie wasn't too violent and when the action scenes came it was good and not farfetched. I would recommend this to any thrill seeking movie watcher.
The other Cassidy (Bell) and his girlfriend Angie (Rodriguez) perform
great together on screen, they bring us comedy whilst getting the job done. Oh did I mention that she's HOT!. As a whole the cast does a brilliant job.
