Tony is a really nice guy, but after being pressured to get a "real job", he tries to ignore his love of music to be a businessman in the world's smartest building, a high-tech skyscraper called Intercorp. Within the skyscraper a supercomputer named CAS controls the entire building. When Tony messes with his ID card and it confuses CAS, CAS begins trying to exterminate Tony by hunting him down, accidentally killing a security guard and a CEO in the process. Now Tony is stuck in the tower, along with his childhood friend, now his co-worker.
I don't understand why this has such bad reviews! Sure it's a little outdated and low-budget, but it's a great TV movie thriller, comedic and suspenseful, without needing to rely on bad CGI effects and fart jokes to be entertaining. CAS is an uncanny resemblance to GlaDOS from Portal, a homicidal computing system with many sarcastic jokes and pranks to play on Tony. The soundtrack, which is that corporate 80's/90's keyboard synthesized stuff, sounds pretty cool. The Tower is outdated slightly even for its time but can still be funny today. The acting was decent enough and although there were a few sexual jokes from CAS, the film remains not rude enough to be too annoying to watch. It certainly isn't boring, it has a moment or two that drags on but is still thrilling from beginning to end and doesn't quit. I personally really enjoyed it, and thought it was far better than that Hunger Games crud that's so popular right now. Don't judge The Tower just on reviews, check it out for yourself to see what you think, you might be surprised.
