Man on a Ledge (2012)

In 7 words or less: Man stands on a ledge a bit.

What's it all About? Sam Worthington and Bell et Rodriguez plan to steal a big diamond by creating a big diversion; America's favourite pass time. Watching a man on a ledge and shouting "What are you waiting for?" in a thick New Yoik accent. 

BrooooOOOOoommmmmm!

Best bits? Most reviews I read of this said, there's not enough man on ledge. I heavily disagree. The film is soooo bland until he (maybe) gets off that thing and things start happening. It is a baffling heist movie, but is quite fun for it.

WeeeEEEEEEeeeeee!

There is a very funny moment when to avoid detection when breaking into the diamond house, Jamie Bell is seen scooting on his belly with a big white board on his back and head. It has to be seen to be believed.

Did it make you think thoughts? None. Oh wait! The ending is great! It's summed up in about 30 seconds of feel good hilarity, you'll love it!

I was also a bit disturbed by the sex-heist part of the story (Bell and Rodriguez) they act like teenagers throughout and it's pretty hard to believe that any of them have any of the skills that they are flouncing. They are so flirty, it's just odd. So odd.

Meaningless underwear shot.

Would you watch it again? I see no reason to. Unless you caught it late at night on Film 5. Or may I suggest a punishing double bill of this and Phone Booth?

Rating (out of 100%): 55% It's was fun while it lasted.
