Tower Heist had so much potential and did not deliver. From the trailer I thought we were going to have old Eddie back, and all would be right with the world. While he did have his moments, he was underutilized and not very funny towards the end.
The story is about some hotel employees who lose all their savings because they trust their boss to invest their money for them. He, of course, is a crooked old man, and loses all their money. They discover that he is hiding a ton of money some where, and decide to steal it. They come up with their grand scheme and go for it. This is where the movie just gets plain bad. Brett Ratner is the director, and I guess he just didn't feel like explaining or was not creative enough to show how all the events unfold in the movie. If you put yourself through watching this, you will see what I'm talking about. Just a lot of, "oh, okay?"
Not recommending this one to ya....2 M&Ms mostly for Eddie being old Eddie for a little bit. Hope he continues to try, but doesn't force it like this one seemed at times.
