Tower Heist (2011)
IMDB-6.4
RottenTomatoes-68
RJG Rating-88


A group of employees of a luxurious hotel ,decide to rob a stock broker ,who has been staying at the hotel for almost a decade..

Starring- Ben Stiller,Eddie Murphy,Casey Affleck,Matthew Broderick
Director- Brett Ratner

Tower heist was a suprisingly hilarious movies...With a star studded cast and the pairing of 2 brillaint comedy artists (Stiller & Murphy), Brett has pulled off a heist of his own..

The cast is charming ,and each one has been well potrayed..From the supporting cast that includes stars such as Mathew Broderick, Casey Affleck ,Tea Leoni to the 90's super comedian Eddie Murphy (who has been having a rotten streak of movies for the last 5 years or so)..Ben Stiller is as usual magnetic and leads this movie with confidence..

The story of a heist maybe not very new and even predictable at times ,but due the cast and the jokes , the story can relax a bit...The heist isnt the most cleverest thing youve seen ,such as in the Oceans series, but Tower heist manages to calmly deliver the goods due to the fast paced shots..

The direction from Brett Ratner was also a surprise...Known particularly for the Rush-hour series ,Brett hasnt been making much good movies of late ,but with Tower Heist he could redeem himself..

A must-watch
