8/10
hang/stand in there

If you only hear about "Man on a Ledge", it might sound like a typical action flick. However, it's nothing of the sort. There is limited action but a lot of suspense. Sam Worthington plays a man standing on the ledge of a New York hotel. It turns out that this action is related to his past, and that in another building, there is something equally important going on.

The absence of explosions certainly strengthens the movie. Some of the neatest scenes are those in the ducts, many of them as tense as what's happening on the ledge. Overall, Ed Harris's character is the perfect representation of the sorts of people who crashed the economy four years ago. A really interesting movie. And if I may say so, Génesis Rodríguez is a REAL looker! Also starring Kyra Sedgwick, Elizabeth Banks and Jamie Bell (Tintin in "The Adventures of Tintin").
