Man on a Ledge

What is, what is the...

Man on a Ledge.

That doesn't work either.

I don't know a lot of Sam Worthington movies, and I can't think of who Samantha Morton is off the top of my head.

That's a lot harder to think of than I was think- the Sum of All Fears.

No. Um, my God, Sam Worthington too.

I don't know what this man has been in [laughs] other than Avatar and Man on a Ledge.

Um, he kind of just appeared out of nowhere and is making all the money in the world because he's in the Avatar movies.

I believe he scored Civil War.

He has composed for movies like Kick-Ass, X-Men First Class, Puss in Boots, Man on a Ledge, G.I. Joe Retaliation, The Winter Soldier, Kingsman The Secret Service, just to name a few.

What do you think of Henry Jackman's composition in Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter?

I think it's really great, and it's something that you can revisit on Spotify unto itself, and there's some really great individual tracks.

Mike's dogs, I think, is what it's actually called.

He was in Man on a Ledge, High School Spirits.

He's also another...

He doesn't have so many credits to his name.

Our mission is to dig into this critical idea...

How Man on a Ledge, the 2012 caper, manages to feel fresh, even with a really familiar plot, all thanks to quality filmmaking.

And that's a really important point, especially with caper films.

Audiences are smart now.

Kind of deflating.

Yeah, it feels disrespectful.

Our sources suggest Man on a Ledge, directed by Asger Leth, written by Pablo Fincher's works, because it actually respects the genre rules and focuses hard on the craft.

So this deep dive is basically your guide to understanding why this movie, even if the plot sounds like something you've seen a dozen times, is actually genuinely worth your time.
