SKYSCRAPER





Can a former FBI operative,now security consultant stop a group of terrorists and save his family from a beyond towering inferno?

One of the best things about this movie is that it doesnt horse around.If you want action it gives you action.One sequence was so thunderous and bad ass i almost applauded.Praise to the sound mixers/editors.
Dwayne Johnson has charisma and then some plus mix in some every man charm.
Im glad Neve Campbell wasnt side lined in the movie.She's given a nice foundation to work with.
The CGI generated tower The Pearl was a mixture of something from Krypton and Elysium.
The SFX were done well.This was the first time in awhile in which i said wow i wonder how this scene would have looked in 3D.Some good fights and kills throughout the movie.


The problems i had with the movie:I've said it before certain actors show up in a film and i know exactly what path they are going to go down which is usually a sinister one.
Ultra predictable turns and plotholes bring the film down a few levels.
A lot of the baddies are not given much to do and are just easily dispatched.
Some of the visuals were way off.There are huge leaps of suspension of disbelief.

This would make for a good rental and please do yourself a favor and watch it in 4K HD !!

Scale of 1-10 a 6 ½
