Synopsis:

An ex-cop turned con threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The NYPD dispatch a female police psychologist to talk him down. However, unbeknownst to the police on the scene, the suicide attempt is cover for the biggest diamond heist ever pulled. The psychologist and the con find themselves romantically attracted and might just end up partners in crime.

Review:

It's a pretty good cop-heist film especially considering the majority of the film takes place on the ledge of a building. Elizabeth Banks is awesome, does a great job especially in a non-comedic role. Sam Worthington is good, not great. Rest of the cast is pretty solid. Lost cast member Titus Weaver (Smoke Monster) is also pretty damn solid. Genesis Rodriguez, what a total BABE. The story is good. Cinematography is good. Got nothing good nor bad to say about this one, it is what it is.
