Eddie Murphy finally worked with the director of “Rush Hour” Brett Ratner, and the result was “Tower Heist”, a comedy of conducive stars that nobody, not even the people who appeared in it, remember. I do not know if he had to go to the gym to play his character in “Tower Heist”, and I will not bother to search Google the answer because I have officially thought of “Tower Heist” more than anyone should think of “Tower Heist”, but… That film is harmlessly horrible. I understand why Murphy did it. He had seen the films of the “peak time”, and knew that Ratner would give his butt to Riff.
Ratner is a rotten person, but not everyone knew this at the end of the 90s, so it is strange that Murphy let the opportunity to play the police aluminum who speaks quickly to the Jackie Chan police officer in Hong Kong in the “peak time” irresistibly hilarious/exciting.
As Murphy said in “360 with Speedy Morman” of Complex It was reduced to a matter of effort. “They came to me, there were two scripts,” Murphy said. “It was ‘peak time’, it will be an action comedy and you will be with Jackie Chan, and it is action, it is summer, running, all these physical things. This other (offer) was (‘holy man’), ‘You on a tunic in Miami’ was a nocera. We went to Miami and made a horrendous movie, but it was easy. It was easy. It makes stop saying ‘Horrendous’. The movie was soft, it was not soft.
Directed by the capable of Stephen Herek (who made “creatures”, “the excellent adventure of Bill & Ted” and “The Mighty Ducks”), “Holy Man” is an anti-conmumous satire of a good heart that star in Murphy as a mysterious guru whose wisdom forces the spectators of a shopping network channel at home to buy all kinds of products. Written by Tom Schulman, whose “Sociedad de Poetas Dead” won the best original script in 1989 (about Spike Lee’s masterpiece “Do the Right Thing”), is full of liberal fimbres of limousine. Shulman believes that his main characters from Huckster (Jeff Goldblum and Kelly Preston), who take advantage of Murphy’s bland observances, are good people in the back.
“Holy Man” is a meaningless formula, but I don’t know if it’s the Nadir on Murphy’s big screen. In terms of unsatisfied expectations, I will never overcome the impressive corral of “soon 2 America” (although Wesley snipes is quite good in it). “The haunted mansion” is completely useless at all levels, so I could locate that below “holy man.” I just know that I will never see any of these films again.
