"In
New York City, Nick Cassidy (
Sam Worthington) checks in to the
Roosevelt Hotel under the false name of Walker, goes to his hotel room on the 21st floor, and climbs on the ledge, apparently ready to commit suicide. The crowd below calls the police, with Dante Marcus (
Titus Welliver) controlling the crowd, while Jack Dougherty (
Edward Burns) tries to talk with Nick. However, Nick will only speak to negotiator Lydia Mercer (
Elizabeth Banks), who is on a leave of absence, after failing to save a suicidal policeman. Lydia arrives at the hotel room and manages to acquire Nick's fingerprints from a cigarette they share. Dougherty has them analyzed and discovers that Nick is an ex-policeman, arrested for stealing the $40 million Monarch diamond from businessman David Englander (
Ed Harris). Nick was given a 25-year sentence but escaped from the
Sing Sing Correctional Facility one month earlier, after being allowed to attend his father's funeral. Nick, however, maintains his innocence and accuses Englander of framing him for the theft of the diamond, as Englander lost his fortune and was too proud to sell the diamond."
A very bad action thriller that proves to be more boring than interesting. The best thing about the movie was seeing Genesis Rodriquez getting dressed. Though I feel like Sam Worthington made be becoming a better actor. I suggest you don't watch this film.
1.4/5
