I'm feeling a bit more like watching horror flicks and reviewing them, plus we up here in Idaho had another cold snap n 6 inches of snow, so....
Dark Tower has Michael Moriarty of Q The Winged Serpent and The Stuff, he's playing another square who's called in when a window washer falls to his death from a big ol tower. The window he fell from was that outside of Carolyn, so now she's dragged into the investigation.
This movie is a minimal, cheap dumb horror flick. In fact, that's a term that I would say exists to describe this exact type of thing- if the set at any point is, say, hastily put up unpainted walls, if your set has exposed wood or lighting from just exposed lightbulbs, if your set has empty cardboard boxes around... It's a flick.
Dark Tower is a flick, and in those terms, which themselves predispose for middling, Tower is a middling one. It's average, it's whatever, it's a "sure, ok".
If you haven't gotten the picture yet I'll say this, another necessary thing to define a flick is that you'll pretty much never think of it again, it's anywhere from 1.5-3ish stars, but hey, you also weren't looking away from the TV screen the whole time with boredom.
I'll give this a 2.5
