    • 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.

    Man Climbs out to the Ledge for a Second Chance
    A distinguish gentleman checks into a hotel with a view, has a nice meal and before dessert arrives climbs out on the ledge. But why? The thriller Man on the Ledge takes you on a journey into a man who seeks to capture his innocence in crime he did not commit. We learn the jumper is a former cop and ex-con, Nick Cassidy (Sam, Worthington) who takes a leap of faith to clear his name fortunately police psychologist Lydia Mercer (Elizabeth Banks) sweeps in to unlock a forgotten past. Man on the Ledge is a suspense filled thriller that will keep you on edge for the truth of this twisted tale.

    This movie has a good story with not too much violence or profanity. It kept my interest and has some good special effects.
