The Ledge


We've got a JUMPER!!!  Is it bad when you watch a show about a dude on the ledge of a building and all you can think about is, "man I cant wait for this guy to take the leap"?   Actually it was a pretty good story about a guy who is obviously on the ledge of a building and the negotiator trying to talk him down.  I know, you have heard it all before but this one actually has a back story that is really interesting.  The writing sucked, which is too bad because the cast is pretty all-star.  Howard plays the cop, and he has his own demons chomping at him through the negotiation.  Patrick Wilson plays a Bible-Thumping asshole who really hates gay people, and Liv Tyler shows her boobs :)  I would recommend this, but be prepared for half ass writing, which in turn makes the acting seem a little shabby.

FYI:  Talk about a flop!  The budget on this film was around $10 million and the opening weekend scored a giant $5,176!!!!!!
