The Tower (1993 TV Movie)
Enjoyable way to spend an afternoon

Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie on or local cable station a little while ago and found myself enjoying it. It is a predictable movie, but I continued to watch anyway. Paul Rieser is both the star and the comic relief as Tony. his character is enjoyable, a little annoying sometimes, but not enough that you are put off by him. He has several good one liners. and several scenes where he sings "Bad Moon Rising" The basic plot is that Tony starts running up computer violations in his new job. after a few, the computer, CAS, who's the mind of the building, views him as a security risk and decides to terminate him, and while doing so, kills off several innocent people in the process. watch it if you ever have the chance, I enjoyed it to the end. SPOILER AHEAD...My only gripe is that Roger Rees gets killed off way to early. I am a fan of his, and I felt that a lot more could have been done with his character. I would have really enjoyed the movie if He and Paul Rieser teamed up to stop the building. Other than that, it was an enjoyable movie.

7/10 ***

P.S. future Dinner and a Movie host Annabelle Gurwitch is also featured in a small role
