sam is really a good player as his role in "Avatar":) He was looking better with his short hair:) simple comment:)

Should be in the thick of it come Oscar season.

There are reality stars on TV with more common sense than the combined wits of the characters in Man on a Ledge.

The last half an hour is the best, but the rest of the movie is developing its plot really slowly. Some of the aspects are highly unlikely to be realistic. Good to watch to kill time, but it's nothing special, really.

A lot of famous actors, but damn, what a standard 'breaking into the vault' movie... Why the hell is this movie called Man on a ledge anyway? He only does that half the movie, it's way too misleading. Never imagined the movie would be this BORING to watch..

Gets a few bonus points for having enough cojones to go forward with a name as equally stupid as Snakes on a Plane. That said while I never thought Snakes on a Plane was actually good at least it was aware that it would be impossible to take seriously. Man on a Ledge, however, takes itself completely seriously despite being utterly ridiculous at every single moment. And can someone tell me why Sam Worthington is in everything? Is he exceptionally good and I'm just not seeing it or what?

Horrible writing, brutal acting. Just about everyone is miscast. Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks are particularly awful. The only bright spots are William Sadler and Ed Harris. For a higher quality treatment of this style of thriller, see The Negotiator, Inside Man, or Phone Booth.

I don't usually like non-Caucasian girls but HOLY SHIT that latina girl was fucking incredible... As for the movie: dumb fun. Whoever rates it as anything else is retarded.

Intense and incredible film. Surprising in most parts but still had a few that you can see coming. I was on the edge of my seat and even though you know things will work out in the end it's a very fun ride.

So the idea is... We steal the diamond... To prove we didn't steal the diamond... Does anyone else see a SLIGHT flaw in that plan? This movie is an advocate of the lesson "You can do anything you want in the name of vigilante justice and the American legal system will just let it slide as long as you were actually right." The plot's about as strong as Sam Worthington's American accent in this movie.

Do you like heist/thriller tropes? Well then you're in for a treat young man, this one's got them all!

a cool thriller that gives you the thrill...those are rare these days.

I can't see where the hate is coming from. It was a good enough story with what I thought was really good acting from everyone involved (getting that "underrated" vibe from Sam Worthington, and Elizabeth Banks is a real shining star who's been in a lot of movies but isn't the most recognizable face out there). I love Ed Harris and am always happy to see him. I do have to criticize parts of the ending scenes, especially Worthington's leap of faith off a 25-storey building. That was pretty cheesy.

10 out of 10 really good all star cast

Overall a pretty clever plot but it gets involved with bits of filler, overly suspenseful timing and parts you'll see coming (not all bad) reminding you that it's a movie. I guess check those parts of your brain at the door, and the majority of the rest of it works.

Has its minor, minor inconsistencies, but starts out as a really cool heist thriller. not exceedingly well directed, but solid. At the end it almost abuptly starts to shout "LIGHT FUCKIN' ENTERTAINMENT" in boogie-nights-type lettering, but - and maybe it's because that heavy gear-shift felt like such a ballsy move - I just can't unlike it.

Quite possibly the most preposterous movie I've ever seen. And I've seen my fair share. One ridiculously far-fetched moment follows another. You almost have to admire how dedicated it is to its own one-upmanship of the outlandish moving from "unfeasible" to "not in a trillion years" in an hour and a half. Stupid, cheesy fun.

A silly film with an almost full house of miscasts! I would love to strangle the guy who came up with the idea that it was really important that we see the hot latina in pink lingerie during the heist... It just oozes of we're trying to save a burning plane by showing a little skin.

What is happening with Ed Harris? I couldn't stop staring at his huge forehead. He has some weird wrinkling going on there. Unfortunately, it couldn't distract me long enough to notice how terrible this film is.

I was expecting a movie like Phone Booth, I got some mediocre thriller. Sam Worthington is one of the worst, least charismatic actors working today. I don't know why he keeps getting work. Also the plot is a bit ironic, they steal the diamond, to prove he didn't steal the diamond? And I guess if you break a bunch of laws to prove your innocence, they just let you go in the end. Makes sense. Even the heist parts, which I usually like, were really generic and boring.

The narrative is poorly thought out, but... I did like it

Why does Sam Worthington get roles like this when all everyone does is knock him for his accent? Oh, and the chick whose Victoria's Secret bra is showing every five minutes should really have thought of a more practical outfit to bring on a heist.

Move along folks, nothing to see here. Well, that's not entirely true. You've probably seen all of this before in any number of better movies.

Here's the score: The narrative is poorly thought out. It makes the classic mistake of unraveling a fairly straightforward, yet intriguing plot into a slightly confusing mess before tying an unnaturally neat little bow on it at the end. But I did like it, thanks to the solid execution, entertaining cast, and while not exactly minty fresh at least reasonably interesting concept. A few surprises along the way, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thrilled. It's a thriller. More than satisfactory.
