Rating: 1.5/4 -- Covering well-worn territory and offering no solutions, it ends up feeling shrill and angry and not nearly as profound as Chapman seems to think it is.

3 stars out of 5 -- [T]he tension's well maintained, with committed turns from Hunnam, Howard, Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson...

Rating: C -- Nothing much holds together in this entropic drama that still manages to entertain sporadically through the efforts of its sincerely invested cast. Full Review

Rating: B- -- Chapman coaxes good performances from his cast, especially Wilson, who makes Joe's immense conflicts a matter of empathy as much as abhorrence. But Chapman doesn't have the filmmaking skills to conceal the talky, formulaic narrative. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- A film that's ultimately sabotaged by its own heavy-handed screenplay. Full Review

Rating: B- -- The framing device of its conceit is beyond silly, and its religious and philosophical debate a tad inorganic, but ambition and intellect help drive and push The Ledge in interesting ways. Full Review

Rating: 6/10 -- A perfectly watchable drama, but it could have (and should have) been a bona fide thriller. Full Review

Product Description:

Shauna (Liv Tyler) has two men competing for her affections -- one a Christian named Joe (Patrick Wilson), the other an atheist named Gavin (Charlie Hunnam). Events transpire in such a way that Gavin ends up on the ledge of a tall apartment building and Joe gives him one hour to jump to his death or another person is going to die. All the while, a police officer (Terrence Howard) tries to talk Gavin off of the ledge. THE LEDGE was directed by Matthew Chapman.
