Tower Heist

A luxury condo manager leads a staff of workers to seek payback on the Wall Street swindler who defrauded them. With only days until the billionaire gets away with the perfect crime, the unlikely crew of amateur thieves enlists the help of petty crook Slide to steal the $20 million they’re sure is hidden in the penthouse.

A mixed-bag caper that critics largely treated as disposable but watchable fun — competent enough to pass the time, not sharp enough to be remembered. The sharpest fault line was Eddie Murphy: nearly everyone agreed his return to an edgy, streetwise persona was the film's best asset, but critics clashed over whether he was given nearly enough screen time to deliver on that promise, and whether the actual heist mechanics hold up at all.
