View all categoriesOur take
An action thriller about a window washer trying to save hostages during a skyscraper siege. Frequent f-word dialogue, gun battles, on-screen killings, high-altitude peril, and a dialogue reference to rape in a corporate-corruption subplot. Tense and violent throughout. For mature teens only.
Uplifting themes
Protecting innocents and exposing corruption keep the hero moving Joanna puts her life on the line to save hostages and her brother
Story (may spoil tone)
When a group of radical activists take over an energy company's annual gala, seizing 300 hostages, an ex-soldier turned window cleaner suspended 50 storeys up on the outside of the building must save those trapped inside, including her older brother.

Talk after watching
- Joanna uses skills from military service to protect civilians. How do movies portray veterans differently from real life?
- Activist hostage plots raise ethics questions. Can you disagree with a cause but still reject violence?
