MAN ON A LEDGE, PG-13 ( 1 hr & 42 min )

I'm a-gettin' a tickly-weakly feelin'

Quickie Review:   A former cop/escaped felon climbs onto a hotel's ledge to prove his innocence in the theft of a very rare diamond.  As a crowd gathers below with 'bated breath, a plan is in the works to recover the supposedly stolen diamond.  But time is a-tickin' ....

The audience liked this Suspense/Thriller.

It's a good enough entertainment, especially a scene with Elizabeth Banks and another one with Genesis Rodriguez in it.  Anyway ... go see this movie if you like Suspense/Thrillers and Hot Chicks!  ( Well, in this movie, that would be more like a Hot Chick and a Hot Hen.  LOL )

Have you guys out there ever had the experience where you're on top of a very tall building and you look at the street below, only to get a "Tickly-Weakly" feeling in your testicles?  Well, this movie gave me such a feeling--and it's not even in 3-D!!!   ( Maybe, I was a "man on a ledge" in one of my past lives, huh? )

Here are the things that I found wrong in this movie:  The Building Codes in these here the United States were revised in the '20s or '30s so that buildings with more than 20 floors were no longer allowed to have windows that could be completely opened, for reasons of Safety and Ventilation.  Or was that Ventilation, first, and Safety, second ...?  I would sue that helicopter pilot for reckless endangerment!  I used to work at a hotel ( the Concord Hilton in Concord, CA ) so I know that there was no way for that person to masquerade as an employee for that entire time without management catching-on to it. Because employees have to clock-in first then report to a supervisor or manager for their work duties before starting their shifts; in other words, they can't just go and do whatever it is that they want to do.  There was no reason at all why Lydia ( Elizabeth Banks ) could not talk to Nick ( Sam Worthington ) through the window immediately next to him--hey! maybe that window was stuck shut. Ha, ha, ha. Why couldn't they just visually ID him sooner since there were still  cops on the force that he used to work with?  Wouldn't that micro-camera attached to the underside of the pin-pad's security hood just get in the way?  Why was the suspect left uncuffed?  Where was that damn helicopter when it was needed to witness the rooftop event?  The bad guy who got shot was wearing a bullet-proof vest; so, why did not he make sure that the bad guy was put out of action first, being that he, himself,  was a cop, and should have known better than to turn his back on the armed bad guy?
