Good action movie with a twist. Thoroughly enjoyable
Good action movie but somewhat predictable. A bit slow in the beginning, starts to get interresting as the plot unravels. It's quite entertaining - enjoy the movie instead of thinking about the storyline.
Good action. Exciting and thrilling. Humourous in parts, and it was a well paced movie, for its length.
A well paced movie, with good action. They kept the plot moving, which was good, and had comedy when needed. The suspenseful moments weren't over-stretched, and it was certainly exciting and thrilling.
As a movie lover, I thought this movie rated an "okay". The preview revealed too much, by letting us know that the Man on the Ledge was a foil for a jewel heist. Although they tried hard to make us laugh, make us cheer and make us care - the emotions were forced. Teenage boys will like the girlfriend in the movie. The casting was too predictable. I've seen Ed Harris and Anthony Mackie too many times as the bad guy. Elizabeth Banks was the only light. Why is Ed Burns also the NY cop? It felt like TV stars were making a movie during their summer hiatus - and this was the result. Sorry, but this should be saved for the plane or a rental.
Entertaining movie and good plot.
A great movie with lots of action and a unique story line. Enjoyable.
Great story, full of twists and turns. Terrific visuals.
Fun movie. Well paced and kept me guessing on what was going to happen next, with a nice surprising reveal at the end.
An original action screenplay! Very entertaining and fun movie to watch. Perfect combination of action and movie fun.
