30% justice and 70% entertainment

As the well-known film critic Tao Tao Tao Lin said, "I thought it was a boring poop movie, but it looks more serious than expected." This kind of group of people is guarded by a certain "big guy 24 hours" and "infrared 24 hours." Steal something from the ghost place of “surveillance”, and add some stimulus to make adrenaline surge in the process. Everyone in the gang has their own magical powers, and a little contradiction seems to be more popular than gold. At the end, it must be replaced by each person. The moon punishes the boss, and the reason for such a big fight has long been ignored.
The more famous film in this genre is undoubtedly the "Eleven Arhats" series. The reason George Clooney steals is to prove his "ability" in front of Julia Roberts. From this point of view, the protagonist of "The High-rise Robbery" There seems to be a more just starting point-they are in order to regain their own pension.
It is often said that "the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry." In the film, a few good old people who are not only have to do things that go against the law under the order of the thief. Earrings, Nike sneakers, warm clothes and sexy underwear, but they have no moral sacrifices. Let the thief really agree, the good guy is busy planning a serious robbery, but the thief is profiting at the last moment, as he said earlier, "I told you I was a thief, you just don't believe it!"

At the beginning of the film, the boss" The general" has been the manager of the building. Although the manager has always emphasized "we are not friends" in front of the female FBI agents, who wouldn't want to get in touch with someone ranked 138 by Forbes?
Even at the beginning of the scam, the manager justified the boss. It wasn't until the old doorman was deceived to lie down because of all his savings, the manager realized that the boss "cannot be his friend".
At this point, all justice began to be justified. The manager did several test tube babies who knew the building well to the customer. But first, the gang members were poached to become the new "managers", and the black thieves learned the magic of unlocking the lock from "Love Little Fat Girl". After preparing to swallow 20 million, the rivers and lakes are sinister, but there are always capable soldiers to cover the water and the earth. Just as the employees who have obtained the lawyer's qualification certificate said, "It is a shark who is born to swim." Go down.

The employees laughed after receiving the "retirement" made of gold-the American people were able to regain some justice in the face of the oppression of the underworld, and the boss was finally reduced to being fucked ass, and still failed to break away from the mainstream of "justice over evil" Values, what is the proportion of justice in the film? Is Robin Hood's robbery of the rich and the poor a little to entertain the system? I can only say that different people have different opinions. In short, it is enough to live well.

    Action comedy plus a little twists and turns, a pleasant movie-watching experience. It's been a long time since I saw Eddie Murphy in a decent movie, plus points.
