This film’s pretty weak storyline is beefed up with a semi-impressive list of actors, which will be the only reason people see it.Ben Stiller is a concierge at an exclusive apartment building, along with a huge team of other staff, including Casey Affleck and Michael Pena. One of the rich dudes who lives there gets all the staff to invest in a fraudulent pyramid scheme, and he’s taken down by the FBI and placed under house arrest at the apartment. The staff, having been ripped off, are keen to get their money back and since the FBI can’t find the missing $20mill, decide to rob the guy.
Eddie Murphy is the ex-con to help them, which of course throws some humour into the mix, but it’s not enough to completely save this odd script.
Rating: 3 outta 5.
