Sam Worthington is The Man On A Ledge, watch the trailer, check out the Poster too
I was just about to the post the movies poster and now Im going one better as Summit Entertainment have now released the first trailer, mind your steps folks its the trailer for The Man On A Ledge Starring Sam Worthington.
I wonder if we’ll be having Phone booth (Colin Farrell) type movie but on the ledge film which sees Worthington plays a cop accused of a murder he says he didn’t commit escapes and ends up on the edge of a New York building threaten to jump to his death. A a female police psychologist (Elizabeth Banks) goes up to try persuade the man to come in but as time goes by she starts to realise there might be ulterior motives for his actions. Will this be a 90 minute popcorn munching no brainer, we do like the the concept of the movie and its a decent cast as well which includes Jamie Bell, Anthony Mackie, Ed Burns, Titus Welliver, Genesis Rodriguez, Krya Sedgwick, and Ed Harris. Its certainly a fun movie however this movie ain’t Oscar worthy material and its out in January so it could suffer under the weight of the flicks that will be out there seeking Oscar contention which means this could be only a stop gap movie which could pass by without any notice.
Man On A Ledge is directed by Asger Leth (Ghosts of Cité Soleil) with the movie arriving January 27th in UK&Ireland (USA January 13th).
Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) was an honest cop. Now he’s in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Desperate, he seizes the first chance to escape. Hours later, he is freshly shaven in an expensive suit, standing on a window ledge high above New York City. As a crowd gathers below, police cordon off the area and agree to Nick’s request to speak with pretty police negotiator Lydia Anderson (Elizabeth Banks). But Lydia doesn’t know that she is part of his grand plan, a plan that could give them both a second chance.
Speaking quietly into a lapel microphone, Nick coordinates the high-tech theft of a $30 million diamond—the same diamond he was convicted of stealing. It’s the only way he can prove his innocence, but he needs Lydia’s help—and he’s running out of time. When his identity is exposed, a SWAT team positions itself on the roof, read to take him out. Lydia isn’t sure he’s telling the truth, but if he really was set up for the diamond heist, it had to be an inside job, which means at least one of the cops on the scene wants Nick dead. With SWAT about to move, cops destroying the evidence that could save him and nowhere to go but down, Nick’s chances of survival are getting slimmer by the minute.
Filled with clever twists, Man on a Ledge is a smart, pulse-pounding thriller about a man determined to clear his name, exact revenge and get the girl…if he can just stay one step ahead of the men who put him behind bars.
