Cert: 15 cert
Story: An ex-cop and now wanted fugitive (Sam Worthington) stands on the ledge of a high-rise building while a hard-living New York Police Department negotiator (Elizabeth Banks)tries to talk him down. The longer they are on the ledge, the more she realizes that he might have an ulterior objective.
Likes : Now this is what i call a classic crime thriller & a dam good one as well, Sam Worthington plays a character Nick Cassidy who's a former cop that got sent to prison for some that you find out wasn't true,now the good thing about this film is when things start happening when nick escape & end up on the ledge of high rise building which attracts the attention of media & police.This is where it start get interesting when they bring in the negotiator Lydia Mercer played by the beautiful Elizabeth Banks who lost a jump on a bridge was called in to talk nick back in but seemly failing but realise he there for a reason & staling for something,which you realise later that he was set up. all the way through this film your thinking who set him & why it real dose keep you think & keep you on the edge of your seat as hes stand on a 2 foot ledge where he could fall at any time.now i find SAM worthington to be an amazing actor three film now Ive seen him in clash of the titan,terminator salvation now this film,i think were see some more good films from this actor.also staring Ed Harris another dam good actor but serious looking hes age in this film plays David Englander a rich businessman who seems to be a little corrupt.This is one film worth watching in my mind has the feel like phone booth did when i watch that but on a ledge.i liked this film because it was predicable like most thriller tend to be like.
Dislikes : The only thing that was fake in the film was stunt sence at the end,it was a little to far fected to think he would land that way at that high,apart from that the film was good.
Overall : A all round good thriller,with a twist in the story that will keep you guessing.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars for twist in the story, 10 out of 10 for a good crime thriller film
