Rated: PG-13.
Suitable for: Teens and older.
What you should know: Sam Worthington is a disgraced cop and escaped convict who makes his way to a ledge outside a room on the 21st floor of a Manhattan hotel. He insists he's innocent of the crime and enlists some supporters in his effort to get at the truth. Cast also includes Elizabeth Banks, Jamie Bell, Ed Burns, Anthony Mackie and Ed Harris.
Language: One or two f-words and roughly three dozen uses of profanity or mild expletives.
