Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy lead a team in a plan to take down a billionaire that took their money in a Ponzi scheme. Standing in the way of them is a virtual impossible task that involves getting past a grade A security system with a few watchmen at each corner of the premises. With a ton of heist movies coming out over the last decade it worries me that the theme has gone a little stale. But we haven't seen this group of special actors take on a project like this one. For an early prediction i have a strong feeling this will be a Hollywood gem.
Even though the cast includes a very humorous Stiller and Murphy it has a very serious and elaborate plot. Screen writer Ted Griffin stated in an interview with Empire magazine "I think we have one of the freshest heists we've ever seen. Even on paper, when i read it, i said, 'How the hell am i going to execute this?'". The theme involves the contemplative techniques that go into a white collar crime, with a crew that will put a comedic twist on it. And when trying to pull off a heist like this that is the last thing you need. But for the audience, we are always looking for a complicated and original story line. So come November prepare for the new Ocean's Eleven, but with a few more laughs.
This new film looks to be a collaboration of laugh out loud nonsense mixed together with eye opening crime expertise. A theme that makes it one of the more anticipated movies of 2011 for me. This group of working stiffs are set to commence their Tower Heist and get their revenge on November 4th.
