True to its title, Man on a Ledge
follows Sam Worthington's Nick Cassidy as he steps onto the ledge of a New York hotel and threatens to jump unless he receives assistance from a grizzled police psychologist (Elizabeth Banks» Lydia Mercer)- with the media circus that
inevitably ensues acting as a
cover for a heist being executed by two of Nick's cohorts (Jamie Bell's Joey and Genesis Rodriguez's Angie).
Players can run along walls which allow them to reach some areas more quickly, they can slide across the ground, and use thrust jetpacks which allow you can jump clear over your enemy's head and watch them try in vain to either
follow you or duck and
cover in fear of the bullets that will
inevitably rain down upon them.
