    • Trivia
      All of the wide shots of the actors on the ledge were real. Restraining cables were either hidden from camera view or edited out in post-production.
    • Goofs
      When the news helicopter starts blasting wind at the ledge, Mercer yells at Nick to hang on and calls him by the correct first name. He was going by Jay Walker and she didn't know his real name yet when she yelled it.
    • Quotes

      Nick Cassidy: First, cut the red wire.

      Angie: Red wire? They're all red wires!

      Joey Cassidy: Babe, pick the reddest one.

    Entertaining action/thriller
    This movie was a fun, entertaining action movie. From the previews I had a good idea of what was going to happen. A guy is on a ledge, threatening to jump, and he is trying to prove his innocence. I don't want to give any details away so I won't get too much into the plot. There are a few twists towards the end that are nice. I would have to say that the plot wasn't incredibly original. It is similar to other action, cop movies that we've seen before. Reminded me of 'The Fugitive' and 'Phone Booth' which were both movies I liked. (No where near as good as The Fugitive though!) There were good shots from the 'ledge' and some good action scenes that were nice at the theater. Overall I would definitely recommend this film. Go see it if you like action/thriller movies!
