Tower Heist is worthy of watching and it\u2019s worthy of eight out of a potential ten Steeler Stars so that proves just how worthy this flick is worth watching.\u00a0 Have I said \u2018worthy\u2019 enough already???\u00a0 Sheesh.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I had no preconceived notions going into this film when Brandee flicked on the Roku.\u00a0 As the intro\u2019s began to roll I saw that Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy were featured so I immediately downgraded my Steeler Star-rating by two full stars!\u00a0 While I like both actors too often their movies become too slap-stickish for my tastes, however, Tower Heist was just the right mix of slap-stick but also serious action and drama.\u00a0 It worked well.<\/p>\n

The movie had a lot of big name actors aside from Ben and Eddie including Matthew Broderick, Alan Alda and Judd Hirsch, among others.\u00a0 I think they all played their characters extremely well and they were absolutely believable.\u00a0 Most of these guys are known for their previous comedic roles in TV and movies so Tower Heist had the potential to be a corny disaster but it turned out surprisingly well.\u00a0 There was actually a good plot with many twists-and-turns.\u00a0 I felt it never went overboard on some of the quite hilarious jokes.\u00a0 It was simply the right mix.<\/p>\n

In the end the combination of good actors, good story writing about corruption and greed, as well as a great moral about finding decency in people packed into this 104 minute entertaining movie makes Tower Heist a wonderful investment of your time.<\/p>\n
