Man on a Ledge (2012)

An ex-cop, Nick Cassidy is dying to prove his innocence in relation to a diamond theft that he never committed. He escapes from prison and with the help of his brother and his girlfriend, he stages a major drama on top of a ledge in a high rise building in New York City. A negotiating officer tries to talk him out of jumping from the ledge while Nick is in touch with his brother and his girlfriend, as they attempt to steal the very same diamond which Nick was wrongly accused of stealing, in the first place.

In the end, Nick manages to prove his innocence and manages to expose the cops who framed him. The businessman David Englander whose diamond is the one in question, is also arrested for framing Nick.

The scenes on the ledge are very thrilling. The negotiation scenes between the beautiful Elizabeth Banks and Sam Worthington are riveting as well. The theft scenes are also nice thanks to the super hot Genesis Rodriguez who exposes a lot of bust and curves. Sam Worthngton is brooding and serious thanks to his manly voice. Jamie Bell has a cute role as the younger brother. Ed Harris is really old, as the villain.

The movie becomes too far fetched towards the end when Sam just like that, jumps off the building and lands safely on the mattress.

VERDICT: Doesn't end well but it has its thrilling moments.
