    Man on a Ledge rating: 5 out of 10(Arun Sundar wrote on 05 Feb 2012)

    My Rating - 2.5/5(My opinion:Watchable but disappointing as a Hollywood thriller film)

    The story of this film had a very great potential.But director Asgar Leth could have done much better.There are very few impact making scenes in the film.The major positives are the dialogues and the background music.The BGM is also a bit loud at times.There are a few logic loopholes here and there.The main character Nick Cassidy (played by Sam Worthigton) crashes his car in a train but escapes.Also he jumps from one point to another in a building quite easily indeed.The diamond robbery job is interesting but is devoid of logic.A peppy romance is introduced between the robbers just at the time you expect nail-biting suspense.The acting performances aren't too great either.Only Sam Worthington is convincing as Nick Cassidy.The other actors are either unconvincing or seem grossly underutilized.Actor Elizabeth Banks's character is very important but she delivers just an average performance.Her conversations with Cassidy(Sam Worthington)to give up the suicide attempt are pretty decent.The thrill factor is clearly missing overall.The film lacks the magic of a good Hollywood thriller film.
