Ex-cop Nick (Sam Worthington) breaks out of jail. A few hours later he's on the ledge of a high-rise, threatening to jump. Gawkers gather, the police arrives and Detective Anderson (Elizabeth Banks) is sent to bring him in off the ledge. But while Nick is getting all the attention, he's also masterminded the heist of the $30 million diamond he was sent to jail for stealing.

This kind of movie only works if it's fast-paced and keeps the audience engaged with an uncomplicated plot. This somewhat formulaic thriller works thanks to a great ensemble cast and its dynamic story-telling. It's not art, but it's also not something you'd want to escape from by jumping off the ledge.
