The Tower Audience Reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
jbutchers OK, so the plot stinks, the acting is so dead that it has begun to decompose and the effects are just plain poor. But when you look past these (minor) downfalls, this movie is kinda cool. I mean a building that goes evil and begins to waste its unsuspecting occupants all because of some incompetent clown that couldn't do his job properly? What more could you ask for.The movie is filled with some semi-cool kill scenes, such as the guy that gets minced in the elevator doors, and it features some pretty good one-liners and slapstick deaths.Sure the film isn't your pick if you want a film with a coherent plot and passionate characterisation, but as opposed to your standard telemovie its pretty great. Given I was 9 when i first saw it, I think this film is a pretty good alternative to days of our lives or oprah or whatever else may be on the tube when this one airs. Stop bagging this film.
uds3 Unfairly trashed little telemovie I feel. Sure its derivative and non too brilliant in its execution (as it were). Simplistic tale of a computer techo who is taken on in a high-rise that is the domain of the computer-in-charge.....a la GREMLINS 2. The computer takes an instant dislike to Reiser and after multiple "violations" marks him for "deletion"Sure, just about everything you see has been done before...but hell its still entertaining in a B-Grade, got-nothing-else-to-do-anyway kinda way! OK, the script is crap....the fx somewhere between acceptable and less-than-average but Reiser's infectious attitude keeps the thing's head above water!A solid 5 which makes the thing not a total loss. Watch it, have a laugh!
palm21 This movie shows Paul Reiser in one of his worst roles ever. He usually plays in comedy movies and after this attempted thriller should definately never consider doing one ever again. The movie is a simple ripp-off from all the other "Man vs. Computer" movies we have seen in the last years("The Terminator" springs to mind). I got the feeling that the people who wrote and produced this movie just decided that they wanted to make some money and hoped they could join the hype, thereby making those big bucks... Unfortunately this meagre attempt resulted in a movie which seems to be no more than just a loose bundle of scenes joined together in no particular order. This is probably because of the lousy script and the way the camera is used(which must have seemed creepy to the makers, but looks ridiculous to me). The cheap love story could be summerised in 1 line: Man finds the love of his life in fight against machine. His 'girlfriend'(Susan Norman) acts annoyingly bad and spoils most of the scenes. But all this set aside the real problem is this: This is supposed to be a thriller and therefore should be exciting. The viewer should be starteld and feel connected to the main character in his fight against his enemy. Too bad none of the afore mentioned happened to me... Conclusion: TV rubbish of absolutely no interest to any one.
Angeneer You should wait nothing deep from this movie, and nothing is what it delivers. There are times though where you're looking for just a pass-time and it's quite good at this. In fact I found it rather pleasant, as the directing is adequate and the acting not too pompous. The main idea could produce a very good thriller, but as another reviewer noted Stanley Kubrick has already taken care of this.
