This embraces its own lunacy readily enough, never aiming for anything more than the disposable thrills it delivers thick and fast.

The solution to "now what do we do for 103 minutes?" is to pile as many silly distractions into the running time as possible.

'Man on a Ledge' is our first legit contender for Best Worst movie of the year.

This is one of the few movies that, with its skyscraper action scenes, probably needed to be made in 3-D. As it is, though, it's barely in 2-D - and really, I'm not sure it needed to be made at all.

There's no escaping the sheer terror of a guy standing on a ledge that high up. "Man on a Ledge" delivers the sweats it intends to deliver.
