VIDEO: Taking a big leap
In "Man on a Ledge," Sam Worthington plays ex-cop Nick Cassidy, who's been doing prison time for a crime he didn't commit. After masterminding a breakout, he winds up at Manhattan's Roosevelt Hotel, where he calmly opens a window 200 feet up and climbs out. But wait! Cassidy's stunt might be more complicated than a mere death wish, as becomes clear when he summons Lydia Mercer to the scene. That tough-as-nails police negotiator is played by Elizabeth Banks in what's supposed to be a frazzled, hungover state, the first of a series of whoppers that get bigger and dumber as the tick-tock progresses. The DVD and Blu-ray (Summit, $27-$31) include commentary and a making-of featurette. -WASHINGTON POST
Colin Covert's take: First-time feature director Asger Leth contributes TV-quality setups for TV-quality situations, drawing drab, workmanlike performances from most of the cast. Read the full review.
