Man on a Ledge

Just saw this for free as part of Virgin's Movie First promo, and glad didn't pay to see it!

The first 30 mins are pretty bad, poorly acted, not very interesting, but as it gets going, it gets better as it gets silly, kind of Prison Break silly, but not that good.

Don't want to say too much, but the "twists and turns" are pretty obvious, and it's full of cliches, but saying that it kept us entertained for 90 mins or so.

Maybe worth watching if you've got one of those unlimited tickets, and you're bored, but not worth paying to see.

Couldn't disagree more. I do have an unlimited card, but would gladly have paid. I'll agree some cliches stand out, but it's better for it, even if the setup is staring you in the face. The banter between jamie and the hot chick with the pneumatic chest is excellent, and portrays their relationshop perfectly. When the excitement picks up, it's fast paced and genuinely exhilirating.

One thing that niggled at the end was..

SPOILER:
The Dad was supposed to be dead, but it's revealed he runs a cop bar. Did NO-ONE amongst all the cops attending the scene recognise the familiar bell-hop?

Also, cops aren't allowed to drink in uniform, same as this country
