What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tower Heist is a true Brett Ratner joint: little brains to this caper, but it's fun fluff, exciting to watch, and showcases a welcome return to form for Eddie Murphy.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Let's just get this off our chests right now: Tower Heist is not a great movie. Rated: C- Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association This action comedy's heart is in the right place, but its screenplay and direction are not. Rated: 2/4 Nov 14, 2016 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com The movie moves well, had plenty of bright spots and never bores, and by the time it was over I couldn't help but smile. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine Staying true to his legacy, Brett Ratner delivers another comedy packed with action and physical humor. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The actors are serviceable in their roles, the obvious standouts being Leoni’s charm and Alda’s capacity to fulfill a slippery-as-snot movie villain. Otherwise, everyone else seems like they’re on autopilot. Rated: 2/4 Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins A film that carefully fleshes out its subjects before building scene after scene of increasingly clever lunacy. Rated: 8/10 Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Anindya M Tower Heist is a feel good light hearted movie with some serious moments like Master's attempted suicide in the subway . The movie is entertaining with a good quality cast , even though the story line is not original , but has its twist in the end although there is no true romance in it , it's fantastic entertainment . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Simon P S I literally logged in for the first time just to write a review and raise the audience score of this movie. Audiences are silly. This is a *great* popcorn heist movie with an airtight script. From Stiller as the building manager/heist coordinator to Murphy as the criminal subject matter expert to Leoni as the lead investigator to Alda as the smarmy villain, and every bit part in between, everyone nails their respective characters. Its audience score is more criminal than the finance bro villain of the movie itself. God, it'd make for a great sequel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Ed R Exciting, funny and great for the family! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Audience Member I really liked the movie. Very funny and a nice plot... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review bob t Exciting, funny, and heartfelt Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Travis B Ben Stiller and Brett Ratner are garbage people making garbage movies Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
