Skyscraper (2018)

An ex-FBI agent (Dwayne Johnson) is in Hong Kong with his wife (Neve Campbell) and kids (McKenna Roberts, Noah Cottrell) where he works as a security expert for the world's tallest skyscraper over 225 stories high. When a group of terrorists invade the building and proceed to wreak havoc, he risks everything to save his wife and children. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (WE'RE THE MILLERS), this mixture of DIE HARD and TOWERING INFERNO is a mindless movie that even the film makers don't take seriously. Forget logic, the abundant loopholes and preposterous action pieces. Even Johnson before he does one of his absurd stunts quips, "This is stupid!". The film makes Johnson's character an amputee with one leg but that doesn't stop him from climbing a massive crane above the skyscraper's fire line, running down the crane and make a flying leap into the air and onto the skyscraper! Neve Campbell as his wife is equally plucky. When she has to walk a thin catwalk high above a burning inferno, she does it in high heels! As the chief villain, ex-con turned actor Roland Moller's Danish accent is so think it renders his dialog unintelligible. I got my $8 worth of entertainment and I wasn't bored but it's not something I'd care to sit through again. With Chin Han, Noah Taylor and Pablo Schreiber.
