![]() ![]() How do you fake a court order? One of the most pivotal parts of Ben Stiller’s heist plot in the film involves getting their billionaire victim out of his penthouse. ![]() If that was his plan, he could have let them know from the start since his job as the Tower’s manager probably would have made the whole thing a lot easier. All he had to do was haul Broderick in and call security, but instead he jumps in and joins the gang. He responds by… changing sides yet again… for no discernable reason. He gets his chance, when he finds Matthew Broderick hanging from a ledge next to the stolen car. Why does Casey Affleck switch sides? At one point in the film Casey Affleck turns on everyone and vows that if they break into the Tower he’ll stop them. Seriously Eddie, what was the plan? Shootout at the OK Corral? ![]() Eddie knows this but doesn’t seem to have come up with a way to get past him, and in fact only gets in to the penthouse at all because Ben Stiller goes ahead with his plan and clears the way for him. His plan seems simple and sensible until you consider there’s an FBI officer guarding the only way in with a gun. How did Eddie Murphy plan to get past the FBI? Eddie Murphy goes rogue in Tower Heist and decides to ditch his friends and break into the penthouse ahead of them. To get it back up to the roof they’d have to take the elevator back up, send at least one person shimmying UP the window washer rope to the Penthouse (they can’t go in the front door the FBI’s there) somehow hook the car on to the cable, raise it up, wrestle it into the penthouse, wheel it to the pool, sink it in the pool, cover the pool and get back out again by shimmying down the rope (dangling hundreds of feet in the air) to another floor. Even weirder, somehow off camera they magically manage to do the whole thing over again in reverse, raising the car back up to the roof and putting it in a swimming pool, in the time it takes for an elderly doorman to drive around the block in a stolen moving van. They get it outside with a window washer platform, and then instead of lowering it straight down to the ground for some reason decide to swing it back inside the building and take it down on the elevator. Seriously, how are they moving this car around? Forget the actual weight of the Ferrari, assuming they can actually lift it around at all, nothing they’re doing with it makes much sense. ![]()
