The Plot\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The night before a climb, Kelly (Ashworth) and Sophie (Parello) meet four guys in the cabin across the way.\u00a0 The guys, less experienced climbers, are going up an easier path of the mountain in the morning.\u00a0 When the fellas invite the girls over for a drink, they agree to “just one”.\u00a0 After some small talk and the drink Kelly is ready to head back to their cabin.\u00a0 Sophie decides to stay longer.<\/p>\n

After a few more drinks, Sophie is ready to call it a night.\u00a0 On the way to her cabin she is attacked by one of the guys.\u00a0 He tries to rape her.\u00a0 She scratches his face, In their fight he kicks Sophie. She falls twenty feet onto rocks.\u00a0 When the other guys show up, they are forced to come up with a cover story.\u00a0 Sophie was drunk. She fell while showing the guys her climbing skills.\u00a0 Once they have their alibi, the guys throw Sophie off the side of the mountain.<\/p>\n

Kelly had heard Sophie’s cries and arrives in time to see Sophie thrown to her death. The men see Kelly and begin to chase her.\u00a0 Realizing that there is no help around, Kelly begins to free climb the mountain.\u00a0 Her only escape is up.\u00a0 The guys grab gear and head up an easier path.\u00a0 The rock face is too sheer for Kelly to climb down.\u00a0 They get ahead of her, trapping her on a ledge just below them.\u00a0 It’s just a matter of time now…<\/p>\n

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ledge<\/em> is an okay way to spend a little less than an hour and a half.\u00a0 Much of that credit goes to Brittany Ashworth.\u00a0 She’s believable as a climber and likeable as the character.<\/p>\n

What keeps the movie from a 3 star rating are the clich\u00e9s.\u00a0 Kelly’s lover, also a climber, fell to his death trying to retrieve her engagement ring.\u00a0 Now she’s climbing in his memory.\u00a0 The rapist character is a psycho who has been bullying his three friends since elementary school.\u00a0 Now as adults they continue to hang with him because they fear him.\u00a0 He’s so bad that he’s been having sex with one of his friend’s wife on a regular basis for years.\u00a0 The other friends knew but were so afraid they never told.<\/p>\n

Still, the situation of being stuck on a mountain top ledge with a psycho right above you provides an interesting scenario.\u00a0 If there’s nothing better on, give The Ledge <\/em>a go.<\/p>\n

The Ledge <\/em><\/strong>(2022) <\/span>rates 2 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n
