The title "The Man on the Window Sill" easily misleads audiences. This is a warm film. In fact this is a tense and tense film throughout the process.

In the first half of the film, a man who claims to be Walker stands outside the window sill on the 24th floor of the Grand Hotel and prepares to jump off the building. His actions caught the attention of the entire New York City. A large number of police and media rushed to the scene, asked to speak to negotiator Messer, and the two spoke for half an hour.
An hour later, the man's identity became clear, and his goal slowly emerged, he used to be a policeman and is now a fugitive. Two years ago, Nick Cassidy was accused of stealing a diamond king worth $ 40 million and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He escaped at his father's funeral the day before jumping off the building, but he did not leave the United States, but chose to prove his innocence in despair, so that is where the scene begins.
Nick's goal is not to jump off the building, but to distract everyone in this way, so that his brothers and sisters can break into David England's vault and find a completely missing diamond to prove his innocence.
The whole story is finally clear. Nick is framed and jailed by David and two policemen. After the appeal was rejected, she could only choose to run away and rely on her family's cooperation to prove her innocence. Nick said to Messer on the window sill: "You don't know what it feels like to be betrayed by those closest to you, I'm innocent." Two years in prison left him with despair, and he finally chose to use his life as a bargaining chip with no place to appeal. Let's bet big, win and regain a new life, lose everything and lose everything.
Nick fights with his fate, passers-by fall into the carnival, the world is like this, the audience doesn't care about life and death of desperate people, they just watch the show. But one old man said it was scary. He said: "Any of us can be Nick Cassidy." Yes, each of us might get mistreated and become the next Nick Cassidy.
Nick's experience reminds me of another film, "Conviction," about Kenny being framed and murdered. Everyone thought he deserved his crimes. Only her sister Betty believed that her brother was innocent. It took 12 years to save her. After earning a law degree and becoming a lawyer, her brother was released.
"The Conviction" is different from "The Man on the Window Sill". Betty appealed her brother through legal channels, and Nick took the illegal route, but we're not qualified to comment on their choice, and we don't know her hopelessness if we're not on it.
How many Nick and Kenny are still in reality, how injustice they have suffered, and how their family members will spend so long filing an appeal, and when they can't go to law, can they just pick extreme things like jumping off the hook. building and self-immolation? A way to attract people and achieve their goals.
