Tower Heist (2011) | Eddie Murphy's Muted Comeback
About this episode
The episode discusses the underwhelming reception of the film Tower Heist despite its promising cast and premise.
Tower Heist had many ingredients that should have made it a standout comedy for its era. The involvement of Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, and a stellar supporting cast, involved in a caper?
