What do you do if the son you raised commits a monstrous crime? Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly star in this drama as parents to Kevin (Ezra Miller), a quiet but haunted child.

Of course, everyone notices all is not well when Kevin goes on a shooting spree at his high school. DVD extras include bonus footage, an interview with author Lionel Shriver, and two featurettes.

Man on a Ledge

At first glance, the man on the ledge is a desperate ex-con, seeing no other way out of an extended prison stay than to jump to the street below. But once you look closer, you realize that he's not desperate at all, nor is he looking to escape his life of crime. In fact, he's just looking to create a distraction while his brother scores a bunch of diamonds across the street. Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, and Ed Burns star in this psychological thriller. Extras include a making-of featurette and trailer commentary with Elizabeth Banks.

Sam Worthington had to shoot Man on a Ledge high up in the NYC sky, but that fear was nothing compared to what is ahead for him in Avatar 2.

Really though, Sam is just looking to make fun movies, which is why he picked MOAL. Sam also revealed his own disappointment in his performance in Clash of the Titans and how he fixed things this time around for Wrath of the Titans. As for a dream role?

Man on a Ledge Trailer: Sam Worthington's on a Suicide Mission

Man on a Ledge starts out with a premise that's not terribly groundbreaking, but the trailer reveals a pretty interesting twist halfway through.

Man on a Ledge starts out with a premise that's not terribly groundbreaking, but the trailer reveals a pretty interesting twist halfway through. A desperate man (Sam Worthington) steps out onto a ledge of a high-rise building with the intention of jumping. As a suicide negotiator (Elizabeth Banks), police, and a crowd of freaked-out onlookers assemble around him, he relates his predicament. The man, Nick, is an ex-con who refuses to go back to prison, and he sees no other way out besides death.

Here's where the twist comes in: Nick is just providing a large-scale distraction while his brother (Jamie Bell) pulls off a massive diamond heist — a crime that's way easier to commit when the police have something better to worry about, like making sure a guy doesn't leap off a building into the city street below. The trailer is tense and heart-pounding, and there's a "make it rain" reference that makes it worth watching, so to check out the trailer for Man on a Ledge, just keep reading.
