Reviews:
Berardinelli, Internet Critic: “Above Average Man on a Ledge is a heist film with a great hook, a fast pace, and a major letdown of an ending.”
Roger Ebert: “Average With a movie like 'Man on a Ledge,' however, I feel toyed with. The movie cuts back and forth between two preposterous plot lines and uses the man on the ledge as a device to pump up the tension.”
USA Today: “Below Average But more often the film succumbs to clichés, grows convoluted and outlandish, and winds up dead on arrival.”
Chicago Tribune: “Average The only thing buzzing in 'Man on a Ledge' are little gnats of narrative improbability.”
