Greetings everyone
This is my first post in this community and I recently joined it reading other people's posts here made me fascinated as I rarely watch any movies but when I read about various movie reviews here, I thought of watching some of them.
The Ledge.
Yesterday was a holiday from school so I was free and also didn't have any mood to study much so I thought of watching a movie. I first thought of watching JOKER as I really like that movie and already watched it 2 times and just with this thought I started the movie but after 2 minutes I was like,
"Let's change it..."
I found another movie and that was THE LEDGE and with the thumbnail and story description which comes at the start interface, I thought this would be good and it was!
It was not like a "best" or "extraordinary" type of movie but I haven't watched such type of movie anytime sooner least, I think. I felt the story was fine for the movie and the direction was also alright but the "scene quality" was kind of low. If you didn't get this then what I mean is many scenes I feel could have been directed better making the movie more thrilling.
It is a murder mystery suspense movie on a cliff.
I only like movies with suspense rather than any type of genre like comedy. The Ledge was a 1 hour and 26 minutes long movie and if you ask me if you should watch it or now then my simple answer is if you get free time, if you honestly aren't having anything to watch and if you are desperate as well to watch something, go for the movie. Now this does not mean that it is a bad movie or a useless one but I feel that 99% of the people reading the article here would be noticing it much as I did (personal opinion).
Story Spoilers.
The movie had only 7 people, not talking about the main characters. There were 7 characters in total, 5 boys and 2 girls.
A murder happened.
One person recorded that murder.
The rest of the people watched her recording and now they all wanted to get that camera and kill her.
To protect herself she climbed the cliff.
Till the end, all the people running behind her for the camera died, but she saved herself.
Story ended.
Now if you judge the story on this basis then you will conclude that it sounds stupid but it is not that one. If you are a person like me then you would surely be liking it.
Out of 10, I would like to rate the movie 7.2/10
Message.
There was a message probably that the movie gave, be safe with strangers although, boys were shown bad intentions in the movie for the girls (boys and girls were strangers at first) then boys invited girls to join them for a campfire, and then things started going wrong. They all made the girl drink so much that now she completely lost her mind and you could expect what the boys tried to do. Do not take it with real life but I feel that always be careful when someone is a stranger. This is just my personal opinion although I ain't able to define in words completely what I want to express still, this is the basic theory of my thoughts regarding the message I would like to provide.
Do give me a "suspense" type movie recommendation if you have one! I would love to check it out.
Thank you for going through the post and I hope you have liked the review. Many things could be criticized a lot about the movie but I am not interested in doing so. Rest I wish you an amazing rest of your day.
