A man, Nick (Sam Worthington) is standing on a ledge trying to prove his innocence. He was convicted for a crime, he never committed. To help him out, he seeks help of Lydia (Elizabeth Banks).
The film has good quotient of thrilling moments, for most part of the film it keeps you on the edge of the seat. There are few loop-holes though, for instance the sequences between Joey (Jamie Bell) and Angie (Genesis) distract the serious plot that we are very much engaged into. Plus, the sequences happening while Nick is standing on the ledge, do not quite bring the same impact. In a scene, ts hard to believe that in real a journalist just to cover a story would risk the life of a already dying person. Also, why is it that the crowd is so eager to see him jump.. I couldn't really digest that.
What works is the scenes between Lydia and Nick, they had good chemistry and their conversations take the movie forward making you guess what's next in store. Plus, there is a uncertainity about Nick that whether he is in real a innocent guy or not, and if he would really jump early or by end etc.
Mike (Anthony Mackie) plot should had been developed more. While the action scenes are pretty ordinary.
On the whole, despite its flaws, its a good enough thriller to be seen once.
