- An ex-cop turned con threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The nearest New York Police officer immediately responds to a screaming woman and calls dispatch. More Officers arrive with SWAT and tactical command along with fire-fighters. The police then dispatch a police psychologist personally requested to talk him down from the ledge. However, things aren't as they seem.
- As a police psychologist works to talk down an ex-con who is threatening to jump from a Manhattan hotel rooftop, the biggest diamond heist ever committed is in motion.
- "The proof is in the pudding!" Famous quote that I sometimes forget too often. The 1-out-of-4-star rating attached to MAN ON A LEDGE (2012) that I kept seeing as I was flipping through my HBO channels was making me continue to skip this nifty, well-acted and plotted, hugely entertaining flick. I've come to realize that HBO tends to go by film critics when they rate the movies they air and THAT should have been my red flag! While I'll admit that SOMETIMES, critics know what they're talking about when it comes to certain movies that may tend to get overlooked or ignored by the general public, for the most part, they can be sticks in the mud! MOAL is definitely worth a watch to appreciate how good it really is.<br/><br/>I thought this movie was going to be utter, forgettable crap going into it. The only thing I knew going in was that it starred dubious up-and-comer Sam Worthington (from the extremely overrated "Avatar", the horrid remake of "Clash of the Titans", and the terrible "Terminator Salvation"), so the thought of forcing myself to watch a film starring Worthington didn't appeal to me. BUT, I'm glad to say that Worthington more than acquits himself extremely well (even if his accent slips a bit from time to time). I'd say that MOAL is easily the best performance so far of his career and he should take on more down-to-earth everyman roles like this one and stay away from the fantasy/sci-fi genre! Because Worthington really BRINGS IT in this surprisingly strong nail-biter.<br/><br/>Worthington stars as wrongly accused ex-cop Nick Cassidy, who breaks out of prison after a 2-year stint, checks himself into a swank New York City hotel under a fake name, eats his "last" meal, then proceeds to step out onto the ledge (thus the film's title). When the cops show up, Cassidy demands to talk to no one but a infamous police negotiator Lydia Mercer (superbly played by Elizabeth Banks), a woman who for months has been a scarred, alcoholic, emotional wreck due to a recent failure with another jumper. I've seen Banks in mostly comedic roles prior to MOAL, and she REALLY impressed me with her dramatic work here, very convincing as a gritty, world-weary cop.<br/><br/>In addition to the well-cast Worthington and Banks, what really sold me on this flick as being a keeper is the excellent supporting cast, who ALL made the most of their roles. Edward Burns (as Mercer's cop assistant) makes a welcome return-to-screen presence (hadn't seen this actor in ages) and I enjoyed his back-and-forth banter with Banks. Anthony Mackie (from "The Hurt Locker" and "Eagle Eye") is rock solid as Nick's former partner and friend. Titus Welliver (who always seems to be playing a tough NYC cop) is forceful in his limited screen time as the SWAT team leader. William Sadler (most famous for being the "Die Hard 2" villain) is engaging as a hotel employee who empathizes with Nick's plight. Kyra Sedgwick plays her role as the reporter on the scene with unabashed relish. The great Ed Harris is appropriately megalomaniacal as the wealthy businessman whose diamond that Nick was accused of stealing, the crime that landed Nick in prison. And last, but certainly not least, are the freshman cast members Jamie Bell (as Nick's younger brother Joey) and Genesis Rodriguez (as Joey's girlfriend Angie) who almost manage to steal the movie from the vets! <br/><br/>The way this film plays out, one can tell that the director Asger Leth paid a lot of care in developing the characters, giving each one a distinct personality. Additionally, I think the plot of MOAL is deceptively simple enough to follow the first time, but still intriguing and intricate enough to demand repeat viewing just to catch little details that might be missed the first time. This flick is WAY better than the film critics give it credit for! It moves at a fast pace, but not too fast, and the action shifts enough for the viewer not to get bored and stuck in one scene for too long. While combining elements of several popular action-heist-negotiation flicks before, MOAL has it's originality combining these elements into one energetic, self-aware, confidently told flick! Highly recommended!
- A police psychologist is called on to talk a jumped down off the ledge of a hotel building. She doesn't want to do it as she is drinking away the memory of a failed case. Curiously, the would-be-jumper has asked for her by name.<br/><br/>Nick Cassidy was a cop until he was accused of a robbery. During his time behind bars he formulated an elaborate plan to clear his name. This plan includes a risky scheme to steal the attention of all New York while he stands precariously on the ledge of a hotel building while his brother sneaks around behind everyone's back.<br/><br/>This movie has some great twists, great acting, and a great storyline. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
- Despite the occasional dumb fun - especially with the heist portions - the leap of logic required to make it all work is enough to leave your brain pancaked on the sidewalk.
