marcicat | movie review: Tower Heist

I was supposed to be getting ‘The Big Year’ so my family could watch it again, but somehow ended up with ‘Tower Heist’ instead. Which — they’re not really that similar, actually.

I vaguely remembered the preview for ‘Tower Heist.’ Said preview left me with the Strong Impression that the money was hidden under the pool. (I was Very Confident of this as I watched.) Which left me unsurprised by the fact that there was no money in the safe, and confused about why they never found the money under the pool. (Spoiler: there isn’t any.)

Also, I liked the FBI agent. I did not agree that the plan was a good one. They *worked in the building.* They had ALL THE ACCESS. Then they got themselves fired for no reason and had to do loads of work to get back to where they could have been so easily.

Seriously, I think this movie may have been made as a teaching tool — when you get mad, get smart, not violent.
