For a while, it seemed like Sam Worthington was on pace to star in every movie for the next 10 years, but even an A-lister has to stop to roll around on top of his pile of Avatar cash for a few months. Worthington is back now with Man on a Ledge, playing a cop who spends two hours threatening to kill himself. Admittedly, I don’t know much beyond that so I turned to IMDb’s trusty cabal of commenters for the plot synopsis, which I have not edited for the sake of humor.
An ex-cop framed turned con threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The nearest New York Police officer immediately responds to a screaming women and calls dispatch. More Officers arrive with swat and tactical command along with FDNY. The NYPD then dispatches a female police psychologist personally requested to talk him down from the ledge. However, unbeknownst to the NYPD on the scene, the suicide attempt is a cover up for the biggest diamond heist ever pulled. Be ready to journey on a roller coaster ride of many twists and turns and see what happens! Written by Anonymous

Thankfully, Man on a Ledge has a trailer out now, so we don’t have to guess the plot based on the description of my 10-year old niece. The film also stars Elizabeth Banks, Jamie Bell, Ed Harris, and Edward Burns, who I tell people I’m related to so I can feel cool.
