Review of Tower Heist (2011) by Allan C — 23 Nov 2012
It's nice to see Eddie Murphy doing something besides Dr. Dolittle or The Nutty Professor. Besides Murphy there's a great cast; Ben Stiller, Casey Affleck, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Téa Leoni, Judd Hirsch, Robert Downey Sr.
, and Frank Pesce. It's entertaining, but nothing all that memorable (like most Brett Ratner films). There are some really good laughs here and there, mostly from Murphy, but not enough to make it as good as it should have been.
And why is a great cinematographer like Dante Spinotti ("Heat", "L.A. Confidential") doing on a goofball film like this?
