Man on the Ledge

This week I watched the movie Man on the Ledge. An ex-cop, and now wanted fugitive (Sam Worthington) stands on the ledge of the Roosevelt Hotel building, while a  New York Police Department negotiator (Elizabeth Banks) tries to talk him out of jumping. The longer they are on the ledge, the more she realizes that he might have an ulterior objective. He is doing all this, while he is having someone in the building acrossed the street take something that he was convicted of taking in the first place. The movie was mystery, suspense, and drama.

I liked this because there was a lot of suspense and there was some action. It wasn't like how I thought it was going to be. I figured that it wasn't going to be that great of a movie but it turned out to be a really good movie.

I think that movies like "The Negoitator" and "Phonebooth" are superior because they explore the "locked room" concept more in-depth than "Man on the Ledge." "Man on the Ledge" was a slapped-together vendetta tale; "Phonebooth" and "The Negoitator" had more believable plotlines.
