Our review: The title is pretty straightforward, but the plot isn't what they lead you to believe it is at all. It is much more than a movie about a man who plans to take his life in front of the Manhattan crowd who've gathered and are actually cheering him on to jump. Think cop who has been wronged, knows it and fully plans to prove his innocence. He'll go to extreme lengths to convince the negotiator that he is willing to go all the way. Great cast and a great time.

I really liked this movie. After reading the back it is not what you really expect but I like these kind of movies. Yes- the name of the movie gives somewhat where it is going BUT so much more is going on and it is really great how they put it all together because it was much more than what you know is going on..was very pleased with the movie and would watch it again and again.
