I did not expect too much. It's a SABAN movie. Not known for high quality. That's why I was surprised. High tension movie. I was alerted all the time. I loved it.

It certainly suffers visually at times from the film's obviously low budget. They simply did not have the money that they needed to pull off some of the script's more action-packed sequences, especially toward the end. The actors are all satisfactory, but none of the performances stick out as being memorable. What kept this film very much afloat for me was the compelling characterization established at the beginning that kept these people interesting to watch for the story's entirety. Each of the three men is distinct in their attitude toward the crime their friend Josh commits, and I found myself really interested to see what they would do next and how they would adapt to their friend's psychopathic tendencies. Josh, as a villain, was cold and truly sociopathic and intimidating. He's written better than the actor portrays him, but it all gets the job done. The lead character, Kelly, has a past that makes us want to see her succeed, and she is smart and resourceful enough that I kept rooting for her through the whole thing, pumping my fist in the air whenever she got the upper hand. The Ledge isn't a paragon of depth, nor is it especially well-crafted, but it's a solid, well-paced contained thriller with a little more meat than average on its lean bones.
