Man on a Ledge is a very exciting and refreshing movie.
It is set in a very good scene, and has a really interesting story. Some things could have gone deeper, and other things could have been more developed.
I gave it 7 out of 10, because it is not a movie that will be known throughout time, it has it qualities but in some ways it is not original enough for people to cherish it on a higher level.
If you've been watching bad movies recently, you would love this one since it is a good addition to any movie collection, even though it could have been better.
