Tower Hiest
The story goes as their is an upscale hotel manager (Ben Stiller) who has a wealthy businessman "invest" some money for him and others and they fall victim to his shady business practices. As you should be able to tell from the title they want to get that shit back. So they assemble a team of willing to jack the rich CEO who is acting like he lost all the money. They weren't buying that shit not one bit.
You have a cast of Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Ben Stiller, Michael Pena, and Casey Affleck. All these dudes are directed by Brett Ratner. Surprisingly Ben wasn't that funny here and I attribute that to his character in the movie but he wasn't going to be the comic relief in this with Eddie Murphy in it anyway. So Eddie was the funny dude in this, of course. Eddie's character was mad niggarish in this one. He was a low scale criminal/thief who wasn't not to be trusted. Michael Pena, the dude all the way to the back on the lest side was funny in this movie too. He had at least one of the top 3 funniest moments in this one.
Its not really a str8 comedy so don't go to see and expect that. But it is a good watch. The quality direction from Brett Ratner and the comedy from Eddie and Michael Pena made this movie.
My Rating 3/5
