I don't know about 'Man on a Ledge', but somehow, it made me bite my nails.

Man on a Ledge intends to heighten our vertigo as it features a suicidal ex-cop, Sam Worthington 21-stories above the premises of Midtown Manhattan. I'm ready to jump! However when twists come approaching, I find myself praying to let Nick Cassidy live by the ledge of a hotel building.

Nick Cassidy (played by Sam Worthington) goes up 200 feet above the ground, on the ledge. That's pretty much all about it.

Huh?

But the tension hovering over the ticking tock of the clock at Nick's "supposed-suicide" only masquerades a crucial event: his brother and his wife does a heist on the other side of Manhattan while he goes instant bummed TV personality on a ledge.

'Man on a Ledge' succeeds in giving the viewers suspense that it intends to give. Is he going to jump? Will he going to jump, like right now? Why won't he jump already! Oh, for Pete's sake, will anyone just push him off the ledge?? The reason Nick (SPOILER, awwww) is too breezy while on a ledge of the 21 story building, is that it is a distraction in accordance to a presently happening "Mission-Impossible" heist executed by his brother. Only the suspense of his attempt to jump, that is like slow as slowpoke, is the only element that brings sufficient amount of tension to the audience. The heist that is happening becomes only a sub-event that clearly lacked of exhilaration and 'good' execution. If only Sam Worthington went back to Pandora and chilled with the blue-skinned creatures and let someone like Matt Damon, or Tom Cruise do his job; and if only the building's height to the zephyr sky is taller, then that would probably salvage the mistakes.

While it delivers an uneven script; a confusing running of scenes, a solution to the problem that if Nick would jump too early, the movie will only end that instant with minute amount of tense; in short, clear sights of mistakes, 'Man on the Ledge' at least made me bite my nails in an involuntary manner. 2.5 stars.
