I watched this movie just yesterday and thought, I really should write something about it, but wait... there isn't even a thread for it yet 🤣 😬
Cast: Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, Casey Affleck, Matthew Broderick, Téa Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe.
Director: Brett Ratner Screenplay: Ted Griffin, Jeff Nathanson Producer(s): Brian Grazer, Eddie Murphy
Anyway.
The film follows a group of people who were cheated by a boss who swindled them out of a fortune. Now they want to get back at him... 😁
Just like he did to them (he was supposed to invest and triple the employees' pensions, but he's greedy and dishonest, so naturally, he was embezzling wherever he could 😳). Basically, their goal is to get that money back to the workers 😉
This thief crew essentially has no idea how to pull off a heist. It consists of a building manager, Josh Kovaks (who is also the mastermind behind the whole plan), Charlie (an ex-Wall Street guy who ended up broke)... Mr. Fitzhugh, Dev'Reaux and Odessa the maid.
Since the crew is totally out of their element, a small-time crook named slide steps in to help.
Why them?
Because they've worked at the Tower for over 10 years and know the place better than anyone else, which is exactly what they need to get revenge on this guy who screwed them over.
Long story short, I watched it yesterday and my rating is 8/10 (IMDb gave it a 6.7/10)
The humor hits the mark—which is expected given the cast
And there's just enough action to make your palms sweat.
Overall, a very engaging movie that's definitely worth a watch 👍
Have you seen it? What did you think? 🍿
