Tower Heist (2011)

Storyline

Josh Kovacs is the manager of a residential apartment in New York. He is close to all the tenants, especially Arthur Shaw, a financier. One day Shaw is arrested by the FBI for fraud. Josh thinks it's a misunderstanding that can be resolved. But later he learns that the employees' pension which he asked Shaw to handle is gone. When one of the employees tries to kill himself, Josh's views of Shaw change. He goes to see him and loses his temper. He loses his job. The FBI agent in charge of Shaw tells him that Shaw might walk and recovering the pension fund is unlikely. She tells him that it's been rumored that Shaw has 20 million laying around if he needs. Josh thinks he knows where it is. So with two other employees who also lost their jobs and an evicted tenant, they set out to get into Shaw's penthouse to get the money. But they realise they need the assistance of someone who knows what they are doing... Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com

Goofs

Factual errors: Miss Iovenko tells the FBI that she's licensed to practice law because she "passed the Bar three days ago." Getting a license to practice law in New York is vastly more complicated than that. In New York, it takes about 7 weeks for the scores to be released. Once the Board receives the passing scores, it certifies these scores and gives the applicant's case to the New York State Unified Court System. The Court awards a license as a lawyer and swears the applicant in as a member of the New York Bar. The applicant must then register as a lawyer in New York through the New York State Unified Court System.  »

Quotes

[from trailer]
Josh Kovacs: The average apartment in the Tower costs 5.6 million dollars. We have the best views, the most advanced security systems, but you know what these people are really buying?
Rick Malloy: White neighbors?
