New on DVD & Blu-Ray : THE LEDGE (2011)

Synopsis: Gavin (Charlie Hunnam, Cold Mountain) is on the ledge. Hollis (Terrence Howard, Crash), who just learned that he is not the biological father of his children, is tasked with talking Gavin down. Their conversation eventually reveals Gavin s deep-rooted conflict with his fundamentalist Christian neighbor Joe (Patrick Wilson, Watchmen), whose theological opposition to Gavin was intensified by Gavin s gay roommate and later by Joe s wife's infidelity. The negotiations take a drastic turn when Hollis learns that Gavin has a deadline, and his life is not the only one hanging in the balance. Writer/director Matthew Chapman (Runaway Jury) returns after a long hiatus to helm this unpredictable thriller that asks challenging questions about faith and reason; the nature of belief; and the value of human life.

Genre: Thriller, Drama

Worldwide Box-Office: N/A

Number of Discs: 1 (DVD & Blu-Ray)

DVD & Blu-Ray Special Features : None

What to Expect : A tense psychological thriller, energized by a kind of furious zeal that overcomes the modest production values. Patrick Wilson, Liv Tyler, Charlie Hunnam and Terrence Howard are all perfect and push the movie above the limit of mediocrity, below which it would have sunk without the talented cast to hold it up when the narrative derails. Worth seeing at least once.

Release Date : September 27, 2011

Run Time : 101 Min.

Studio/Distributor : MPI HOME VIDEO

Rating : R for sexuality, language and some violent content.
