Aushilfsgangster

The best joke coming out of this comedy is from the Czech distributor, who sold this screenwriting monstrosity under the name of "Master Plan". (12.02.2012)

Eine sehr trockene Komödie, aber ich glaube, dass es eine Absicht war. Am Anfang sieht der Film eher wie ein Kammerdrama mit komödiantischen Schauspielerinnen und Schauspielern aus. Aber wenn der Raub (der Plan der Hauptfiguren ist nicht besonders meisterhaft) und vor allem die Geschichte mit dem Seil kommen, macht es Spaß. Alan Alda, Ben Stiller und Eddie Murphy sind unterhaltsam, die Regie hat mich nicht besonders gestört und Becks Musik hat mir sehr gefallen. Außerdem bin ich froh, dass das Drehbuch auf jegliche Körperflüssigkeiten sowie auf andere ekelhafte Dinge verzichtet hat. Dreieinhalb. (26.09.2015)

The economic crisis left Americans with very conflicting impressions of how strong their economy actually is. Those Wall Street cool guys suddenly - again - became hyenas, who do not deserve admiration but anger. It was about time for another film to appear, besides the continuation of the legendary film "Wall Street". "Tower Heist" is one of those hits. Just mention the cast - Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda - and it becomes clear that it's a comedy. However, it is a comedy with strong dramatic foundations. After all, losing all your money bothers, even though it is sung differently in that song. And so the hotel employee decides to join other people in stealing from the man who stole from them. The broker is played by Alan Alda, who is always in great shape. One wonders if Alan Alda's age and his slight resemblance to Rupert Murdoch are purely coincidental. The topic is topical, with good performances, even in the case of Eddie Murphy, who shows that he still has what it takes to be a comedy star, he just needs to choose better movies. The group of thieves works well, Casey Affleck showed that he is not inferior in the genre and that he will be as good an actor as his brother is a director. He has surpassed him in acting.
