Aushilfsgangster

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 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)

Immediately after the end of the movie, I was wondering whether I liked the movie at all, or if I was just glad to see an actor in a movie that I really like from my youth after a long time, which partially could overshadow the qualities of the movie. I am mainly talking about Eddie Murphy, who finally amused me in some movie after a very long time. And that's saying something, considering that he is mostly criticized in the local comments. But also Alan Alda, Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick or Téa Leoni. This meeting was really cool. It's a shame that the movie was incredibly dull. But I honestly don't understand why, because Brett Ratner is not a B-movie director. The story was incredibly boring at the beginning, but it livened up a bit when Eddie Murphy appeared, and the music was absolutely terrible. Like from some cheap porn movie. Many times I wondered why they didn't make the movie properly when they already had such great actors together. It's a real shame. This is also the reason why I didn't really know how to evaluate the movie. In the end, the fact that I could see those actors again after a long time won over the fact that this movie didn't really shine. (24.07.2012)

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.
