Twenty storeys up wanted fugitive Nick Cassidy threatens suicide from a Manhattan rooftop. As hostage negotiator Lydia Mercer tries to talk him down she begins to realise all is not as it at first appeared; Cassidy does not seem like a man with a death wish in fact he seems very much like a man with a plan. ‘Man on a Ledge’ an enjoyable popcorn action thriller; you know where it’s going pretty early on but it goes there with some gusto.
