Reviews
ThiefHott Too much of everything
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
phoenix 2 The employees of a rich man who steals his investors create a plan to get their money back from him, when he is under home imprisonment from the FBI. The movie's story sounds worse than it actually is. There is something in it, which makes it interesting, even though the whole robbery plan is too common. The performances are not that good, but the script doesn't help to improve them. The jokes are not that good either, but there are some entertaining scenes. The hero of the day, that Josh represents, is just too cliché and the ending was just made rushy, like they were running out of time and they had to conclude in less than five minutes. So the movie just reminded me of a badly made Italian job or ocean eleven and so I give it a 2 out of 10.
SimonJack "Tower Heist" is a fun comedy, action and crime thriller. It's a chess game of life. The opponents are a band of employees who run a high-class apartment building in the heart of Manhattan, and the pent-house tenant who takes their pensions and savings to the cleaners. But, one caper deserves another, and the employees are on the rebound after the FBI get into the picture. It's all about decorum, money, position, working for a living, trusting others, greed, fraud, getting even and justice. That may not sound like the elements of comedy, but they all add ;to a very good and entertaining movie. Ben Stiller is the lead character. Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda, Judd Hirsch, Tea Leoni and a host of other actors add to the fast action, bedlam and smiles in this film. Most adults should enjoy this film. Just be prepared for city street language and some vulgarity. The end is an especially nice surprise.
slightlymad22 Since the first Shrek movie, Eddie Murphy seemed to have been doing his best to prove to everyone that his best movies are now where he is heard and not seen. However here he gives a performance as good as some of his earlier work.As for the rest if the cast, although a straight man, Casey Affleck shows a talent for comedy rarely seen in his filmography, Tea Leoni is hot rather than a hard nosed, Matthew Broderick puts in his best performance for years and Alan Alda is always a delight to watch! However Ben Stiller is once again doing his usual nice guy Ben Stiller routine. It's more than a bit tiresome and boring now, as (with the exception of Dodgeball and Zoolander) he is always playing the same role. There are a few loose ends at the end of the movie, but overall it was an enjoyable ninety minutes.
Saiph90 This is what you get when you have excellent actors, a decent script and an actual plot. This film has an ending and just does not simply end, it is also funny, I laughed out loud at Ben Stiller with the line "...the elephant in the room" and Gabourey Sidibe "what your saying", Plot Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) is the manager of a residential apartment in New York. He is close to all the tenants, especially Arthur Shaw (Alan Alder), a financier. One day Shaw is arrested by the FBI for fraud and from there the fun begins, Eddie Murphy is back to his best. I know everyone has an opinion but the 1 star haters need to lighten up, treat yourself and watch this film.
