Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's premise is somewhat similar of the Stephen King short story, also called "The Ledge".
- GoofsAt 1:12:27 into the movie, as the camera pans to Gavin on the ledge talking to Hollis, the sun is high casting only a partial shadow ton the gray building in the background. The camera then switches to just Hollis looking out of the window, and when it goes back to show Gavin again, the shadow on the gray building behind him covers it almost completely. But the next two times we see Gavin at the same spot the shadow moves back and forth, revealing that the scenes were shot earlier but cut in for the sake of the narrative.
- Quotes
Gavin Nichols: [after Shana tells Gavin she and Joe are going to a new church that does missionary work in Uganda, that's against smoking, drinking, immodest dress for women and secular music]
[scoffs]
Gavin Nichols: Jesus Christ. Restrings your guitar one day, stops you from playing it the next.
Shana Harris: You're so flippant, aren't you? You have no idea what it's like to lose everything and to try and put it all back together again.

It's not a perfect film and it has its own flaws but it's one of the examples that makes me think that some critics may accept money from religious authorities to pan films like this with shallow and stupid reasons and criticism, which is scary.
It's the first or one of the pro-atheist feature film ever to be released in America. American people need such films a lot, so do other nations.
Matthew Chapman, an atheist who is a distant relative of Charles Darwin did a good job esp. As a screenwriter but I understand that some people can't still face the facts and love to hug their own imaginary friends.
The acting aren't that good or in some scenes even weak. But we can get the idea and educate ourselves from it. There are a lot of high budget and extravagantly high polished films with little to offer but this film can broaden some narrowed minds and enlighten some of the people.
7.3/10.
