A Long Way Down is about four would-be suicides who meet for the first time on the top of a tall London building, intending to jump, but instead of jumping they decide to hang around and annoy the hell out of us for the next 90 minutes. Had I known what I know now, and had I also been on top of that tall building, I might well have given them all a hefty nudge.

These screen suicides deserve a nudge off the ledge
A Long Way Down is so poorly written, so lacking in insight or sympathy, that you just want the characters to jump
