Man on a Ledge

Posted 12 years ago by myetvmedia

Sam Worthington (Nick Cassidy) is a desperate man in a desperate situation. Nick Cassidy is a man with a felon’s record. Teetering high above the busy streets of Manhattan on the ledge of a Hotel, he is threatening to jump unless his name is cleared of some diamond robbery. A bystander spots him and sounds the alarm. Elizabeth Banks (Lydia Mercer), police psychologist /negotiator is the closest officer to the situation and takes on the job of talking him down. “Suspense, electrifying action, mystery”, director Asger Leth brings all this and more to the screen.

The situation escalates as the full NYPD SWAT team and all the emergency services arrive. Why spoil the story from there? Things are not what they seem and the real situation is a lot more complicated, as it turns out a major diamond heist is part of the whole plan.

Sam Worthington has a history of playing the lead man high action thrillers. His portrayal of characters such as Jake Sully in Avatar, as Perseus in Clash of the Titans, Marcus Wright in Terminator Salvation and as young David in The Debt have shown us his versatility and strength.

We have seen Elizabeth Banks before in high action suspense thrillers, The Next Three Days directed by Paul Haggis, and we know she brings conviction and intensity to the role.

Jamie Bell is an incredible actor. Who can forget his remarkable portrayal of Billy Elliot? He is also in HugoMartin Scorsese’s recent masterpiece. Other cast members in “Man on a Ledge” includeEdward Burns (Saving Private Ryan), Ed Harris (A Beautiful Mind) and the lovely, talented Genesis Rodriguez (Casa di mi Padre).
